A colorful Civil War centennial print, measuring 24" x 18", in maple frame showing the desperate and gallant charge of the 13th United States Regular Infantry upon the Confederate lines at Vicksburg on May 19, 1863. A period paper label on the verso is boldly entitled: "First At Vicksburg", adding, in part: "…in this assault against bitter resistance the 1st Battalion, 13th Infantry lost forty-three percent of its men…General Sherman called its performance 'unequalled in the army' and authorized the 13th to inscribe 'First At Vicksburg' upon its color…". Not examined out of the frame. Fine.
