Put the Boys In
Don Troiani. As a Federal artillery battery tears holes into the sagging Confederate line, Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge realizes he must call upon his last reserve to stem the tide. With the reluctant order "Put the boys in, and may God forgive me for the order" he sends forth 300 cadets from VMI. The cadets rush forward through the soggy Bushong Farm orchard, and with valor worthy of the most seasoned veterans take the Federal Battery. 32"x 23½" limited edition print is signed and numbered by the artist.
