This one is better. It was a simple image though.


There was another one that isn't worth showing you. Then in class, I worked from a mirror. Frank dislikes this because the expression is not happy. But copying from a mirror is not easy.
Here Confederate forces under General Jubal A. Early, facing east, received the attack of Sheridan’s army at noon on September 19, 1864. Early repulsed the attack and countercharged, breaking the Union line. Only prompt action by General Emory Upton in changing front saved the Union forces from disaster. At 3 P.M. Sheridan made a second attack, driving Early back to Winchester.
On a hill, approximately one-half mile to the west, Philip H. Sheridan established his final position on September 19, 1864. General Jubal A. Early held the ground one-half mile further to the west. At 4 P.M., Sheridan advanced with massed cavalry and infantry and broke Early's line.Nearby is a historic home that is easily missed because it has been disguised by vines.
General David Hunter ordered the burning of this town on May 30, 1864; but Major Joseph Streans of the First New York Cavalry prevented it.

The soldiers made me think that in some countries this is reality: armed soldiers policing the streets. However, the military trucks had antique tags. | ![]() |

You'll find other subjects too. If you like historic sites or gardens or animals, you'll find them on this blog. Please visit often and feel free to comment.
