It has all the original coupons attached. The Battle of Pea Ridge (March 7–8, 1862), also known as the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern, took place in the American Civil War near Lee town, northeast of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Federal forces, led by Brig. Gen. Samuel R. Curtis, moved south from central Missouri, driving Confederate forces into northwestern Arkansas. Maj. Gen. Earl Van Dorn launched a Confederate counter-offensive, hoping to recapture northern Arkansas and Missouri. Curtis held off the Confederate attack on the first day and drove Van Dorn's force off the battlefield on the second. Part of the Confederate forces force consisted of a combined force of Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole cavalry under Brig. Gen. Albert Pike. During the battle the 3rd Texas Cavalry was assigned to McIntosh's Brigade of McCulloch's Division. As McIntosh advanced east along the Ford Road on the morning of 7 March, the 3rd Texas was in a column of fours on the brigade's right flank. Suddenly the cavalrymen came under fire from three Federal guns near a wood's edge to their right. As the guns killed ten cavalrymen and wounded others, McIntosh ordered a right face which put the 3rd Texas in the front line. The scene “Battle of Pea Ridge” was reprinted from the lithograph by Kurz & Allison. Kurz and Allison were major publishers of chromolithographs in the late 19th century. They built their reputation on large prints published in the 1880-90 period depicting battles of the American Civil War. This was a period of recollection among veterans, and the company was trying to capitalize on this sentiment. In all, a set of thirty-six battle scenes were published from designs by Louis Kurz, himself a veteran of the war. They did not pretend to mirror the actual events but rather attempted to tap people's patriotic emotions. The hand made solid Walnut frame is 12” x 16” (glass) in size. All of the frame and display work was done in our cabinet shop here in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The frame is ready to hang. The wire is recessed which allows the frame to rest flat back to the wall as in a museum mount. The “bumpons” on each back corner protect the wall and keep the frame level. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased. Please see our "About” for more information on the framing and artifacts.
