Description: " ON TO RICHMOND " THROUGH THE WILDERNESS MAY 7, 1864ORIGINAL HAND SIGNED & NUMBERED PRINT by Mort KunstlerThe 1864 campaign opened with the Army of the Potomac crossing the Rapidan River, headed deep into Spotsylvania Country. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia struck the advancing columns in the tangled brush and trees of the vast forests just west of the old battlefield of Chancellorsville. For two days the armies had fought. Smoke from rifles and fires was so dense that opponents often stumbled upon each other only by chance. Stalemated by Lee, Grant decided to move Meade's army out of the Wilderness on the evening of May 7th.The air was filled with gloom. Sullen and tired soldiers of General G. K. Warren's 5th Corps took the lead, quietly filing out their earthworks as the sun set. Deep inside, many believed that they had been beaten and were not the vanguard of a retreat. In the darkness they stumbled onto the Brock Road, parallel to the Union line. But instead of heading north, the column was directed south! A faint ray of hope in the dreary surroundings of the Wilderness suddenly gave life to the tired column. Each man realized that this march was to be different.As Bruce Catton described in A Stillness at Appomattox, "just then there was a crowding at the edge of the road, and mounted aides were ordering: 'Give way to the right!' and a little cavalcade came riding by at an easy jingling trot – and there, just recognizable, was Grant riding in the lead, his staff following him, heading south. This army had known dramatic moments of inspiration in the past…grand and stirring. Now there was nothing more than a bent shadow in the night, a stoop-shouldered man who was saying nothing to anyone, methodically making his way to the head of the column – and all of a moment the tired column came alive…"The veterans of the Wilderness knew that two days of bitter fighting was not in vain. This non-descriptive general on horseback was determined to finish what had been started so long ago, and there would be no recrossing of the Rapidan. Truly, this moment amongst the thick woods of the Wilderness could be called the turning point in the east, and perhaps in the war.Original Hand Signed & Numbered PrintThis is an ORIGINAL hand signed and numbered limited edition print ( WE ARE AN AUTHORIZED MORT KUNSTLER GALLERY ) This is a beautiful collectible limited-edition Print ------ SOLD OUT PRINT EDITION ---- ----- Personally Hand Signed by Mort Kunstler ---- STORED FLAT & PROTECTED & NEVER FRAMED The Image Size Is About ----- 22 5/8"x 16" Overall Size Is About ---- 27 5/8" x 22" ------ MINT CONDITION PRINT ---- Comes with original certificate of authenticity WE HAVE A LARGE INVENTORY OF CIVIL WAR PRINTSSHIPPING - FLAT - Insured - Via UPS - $65 - Within the Continental USA.....Lower 48 States ONLY....INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING --- UPS -- VIA -- EBAY's GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM.....
