This remarkable painting depicts the 20th Tennessee Infantry of the Army of Tennessee on November 30, 1864 during the \"Battle of Franklin\" (Tennessee)Detailed Description: This painting portrays the moment Captain Tod Carter asks permission from Colonel William M. Shy to lead his former regiment, the 20th Tennessee Infantry, forward in a massive infantry assault toward the Union Lines, entrenched just South of Franklin, Tennessee. Franklin was Tod\'s home: he had not seen his family in three years while he was serving in the Confederate Army. By November of 1864, Carter had been promoted from the ranks of the 20th to Adjutant in the Confederate Army of Tennessee, commanded by Major General John Bell Hood. Major General John M. Schofield\'s Federal infantry were embedded just yards from Tod\'s home (The Fountain Branch Carter House) along the Columbia Turnpike. Colonel Shay granted Carter\'s request, and he led the 20th Tennessee forward astride his dapple gray horse \"Rosencrantz,\" all the while admonishing his men with the cry \"Follow me Boys, I\'m Almost Home!\" When the 20th got to within yards of the Union lines, Tod was struck down and mortally wounded, left where he fell on the field of battle. By the next morning, both the Union and Confederate armies withdrew from the field towards Nashville, and left behind an almost surreal landscape of carnage. When the Carter family emerged from their home on the morning of December 1st, Fountain Branch (Tod\'s Father) and the family learned that their beloved son was among the fallen and set about looking for him on the field. It wasn\'t long before they discovered Tod laying among his fallen comrades, still clinging to life. The family carried him inside laying his shattered body in parlor. Tod would cling to life just a few more hours before dying the next day surrounded by his family. Tod Carter\'s story is just one of the countless unsung accounts of bravery during the Civil War. Shown in this Painting is Tod Carter astride his dapple grey horse \"Rosencrantz\": Colonel William M. Shy Commanding the 20th Tennessee Regiment and Brigadier General Thomas Benton Smith.Dimensions:Image Size 36\" x 24\"; Framed Size 41-1/8\" x 29\"Artist or Maker:Mark MaritatoMedium:Oil on CanvasDate:2005Condition Report:Excellent Condition.Exhibited:Gallery Exhibitions and Shows: • 2012 - Green County Council of the Arts - Catskill NY - \"Undaunted Valor\" Solo Exhibition of Civil War Original Artworks • 2004-2008 - American Historical Art Gallery - Gettysburg Pennsylvania -Various Shows and Appearances • 2003-2006 - \"History Meets the Arts\" - Gettysburg Pennsylvania • 2005-2007 - Gettysburg National Military Park Visitors Center & Book Store - Gettysburg Pennsylvania • 2005 - Mountain Top Gallery - Windham NY - Solo Exhibition of Civil War Original Artwork • 1998-2000 - The Farnsworth House Gallery - Gettysburg PennsylvaniaLiterature:Publications and Shows: • Lone Star Valor: Texans of the Blue and the Gray at Gettysburg.\" by Joseph L.
