Hello SSS,

Thought this Civil War print might be of some interest to you.

Neat print. Is there a story behind it?

Hi Arizona Trooper,

Received the following Email from  SSS member Andreas (Germany) on the Spencer Poster.  According to Andreas, the poster depicts:

Trevilian Station, VA, the evening of June 12, 1864 .
1st Lieut. Edward B. Williston, Norwich University Class of 1856, and Commander of Battery D, 2nd U.S. Artillery, moves a 12lb. napoleon cannon forward onto the skirmish line of the 2nd U.S. Cavalry to repel a Confederate ground assault. Lieut. Williston was awarded the Medal of Honor for his display of distinguished gallantry. print by Dale Gallon, noted artist.

From good Old Germany,  Andreas

Thanks for your Spencer support.

Got to ask, is this still a live auction? Were the cartridges included? Any information appreciated; I might bid if OK.

Eggman,

Scroll down to almost the bottom of this link and you will see the print and cartridge box for sale, not the print.  I believe it's just the box, no cartridges included.
