Here are a couple of photos my late father in law took of the carving in the early 1960s.




Here's what it looks like today.



And here is my coin, which is a PCGS MS-65.

 

He's like the will of the whisp in that 2nd to last depiction, John. Had he not been cut down at Chancellorsville the outcome of the conflict may have been different. His poor equipped troops would have followed him to hell......

 

And I'm just the student of military conflict and tactics, with no attention to political affiliation......

 

Beautiful Coin!

 

I disagree with the Southern cause which was to perpetuate and expand slavery. I also understand the pride the southern people have in their culture. They can understand the flaws, and still have pride in the people they view as heroes.

The United States was a very different country prior to the Civil War. The North was right to oppose the spread of slavery and call for an end to it. At the same time, many northerners were less than racially tolerant.

 

At all times and in all places, saints have been in short supply.

 

Not sure if these have anything to do with the original design but they’re contemporary
