Framed, signed, limited edition art print, by Dale Gallon, titled "For The Cause." It was a brief moment toward the end of the seemingly endless Civil War. April 6, 1865, the long retreat from the defenses of Petersburg was staggering its hungry way westward and there was, in the words of one participant, "blood at every bridge and ford." At Sayler's Creek, the Army of Northern Virginia nearly dissolves. Broken, disheartened, disorganized men, not even looking for a rallying point, find one; from somewhere, General Robert E. Lee picks up a battleflag and holds it, finally revealing what the true heart and soul of this Confederate Army, for four long years, has been. The men rally and form into a small but glorious remnant of the once indomitable army. And Lee becomes the symbol he never sought to be; the embodiment of the cause soon to be lost, of courage in the face of overwhelming odds, never to be forgotten. Dale Gallon's, "For The Cause," shows Lee as he touched something within each man who saw him that day, and within all of us who can only wish we had. [Source: Dale Gallon Historic Art].
