Gettysburg: Ash's At The Angle Heart, Family, And The American Civil War: My nephew Dennis Ash and his son Brian are Confederate Re-enactors - and Dennis is also a stabilized cancer patient. So, I was inspired to get this done ahead of them participating in the 150th Gettysburg Anniversary re-enactment where they will make Pickett's Charge as part of the 8th Virginia / Tennessee - minus Carmela their Golden Retriever. Dennis is the Confederate First Sergeant with Enfield, and Brian the Drummer above Carmela. Scene And Composition: This is the high water mark of the Confederacy; but equally shows the fire power of the Union Line. The from-south (looking north) view depicts those 200-300 Confederate soldiers who had already passed over the wheat field and two Emmitsburg Road rail fences as part of Picket's Charge and then approached The Angle; hence the title: Gettysburg: Ash's At The Angle. The 2-3' stone wall with z-shaped offset is obscured by cannonades, rifle shots, pistol fire, smoke, and soldiers in hand-to-hand combat from both sides. There are casualties mixed in with those still fighting. The Clump Of Trees is in the background and there are in excess of 500 soldiers shown in the larger scene. Flags, Weapons, Uniforms, Insignias: Unit flag variants are generally true to unit and position - though historical discrepancies and artistic license do exist. Weapons inventory and detail are accurate. Uniforms include subtle fidelity such as Dennis using a 3-strap Enfield Rifled Musket as a front-line First Sergeant with 8th Virginia emblem on his Kepi. First Sergeants and below on both sides tended to carry Enfield's at Gettysburg, whereas Sergeant Majors carried pistols and swords - like officers - and were not usually front-line combatants. Swords shown are pre-1821 curved sabers or 1850's variant straight blades. Variants of rank patches or insignias are correctly positioned on arms or elsewhere. Historical Figures: Confederate General Armistead is shown with his un-pierced hat atop his saber as he stepped over the Angle - as was brought out by eyewitness accounts. Movies and artwork; however, frequently show his hat pierced. That he had a pistol drawn and held in his left hand is up for argument. His life-friend Union General Hancock is on his black mount 150-200 yards behind the Angle to the right. Save Dennis and Brian, all other soldiers are anonymous.
