General George Custer Color Tinted photo Civil War 05340

Description: This is an original period image from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and other quality sources restored and tinted by the internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work on ebay. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in. Matte Finish: E-Surface Photo Paper is by far our most popular photographic paper. As a professional paper, it boasts rich, sharp color that won't fade or yellow, creating beautiful prints that will last for years to come. Glossy (Metallic) finish: Our Metallic Photo Paper features a unique pearlescent surface. It offers highly saturated colors, ultra-bright backgrounds, and will last a lifetime with typical home storage. Major General George Custer April 15th, 1865 "Our boy-general never says, 'Go in men!' HE says, with that whoop and yell of his, 'Come on boys!' and in we go, you bet," a proud veteran wrote. On July 3, 1863, Confederate Gen. Lee decided it was time to change tactics. After two days of fighting at the Battle of Gettysburg, PA, Lee decided to replicate his victory at Chancellorsville, VA by attacking from behind the Union army. First he would send his troops up Cemetery Ridge, in what became known as Pickett's Charge. Meanwhile, Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry would attack the Union's "rear area", forcing the Federals into diverting troops. In position, Stuart fired a signal in each direction of the compass. Standing in Stuart's way was the youngest Civil War general - George Armstrong Custer, who led every charge. The newly minted General's men were armed with Spencer repeating rifles, determination and led by a general who, by having at least five horses shot out from under him, lived up to his reputation for courage. According to Custer, "I at once ordered the First to charge ... Upon receiving the order to charge Colonel Town, placing himself at the head of his command, ordered the 'trot' and sabres to be drawn. In this manner this gallant body of men advanced to the attack ... Arriving within a few yards of the enemy's column, the charge was ordered, and with a yell that spread terror before them, the First Michigan cavalry, led by Colonel Town, rode upon the front rank of the enemy, sabring all who came within reach." During the melee, the company's standard bearer was shot. "To save it, I was compelled to tear it from its staff and place it in my bosom." wrote Custer. Despite their valiant efforts, the Confederates, whose “saber blades dazzled in the sun,” were about to break through the federal lines. Custer ordered a second cavalry charge. “As the two columns approached each other the pace of each increased, when suddenly a crash, like the falling of timber, betokened the crisis. So sudden and violent was the collision that many of the horses were turned end over end and crushed their riders beneath them.” Custer's charge broke Stuart's advance, ruined Lee's plan, brought him to the attention of the Army's brass and won the loyalty of his men.
