Published in Charles A. Cuffel’s
History of Durell’s Battery in the Civil War (Philadelphia: Craig
Finley and Co., 1903), opposite p, 83. This commission came to Trego as a
product of his fame after painting
The
Rescue of the Colors in 1899. Charles Cuffel, the battery historian, lived
in Doylestown. He wrote in the preface to the book: “The committee was fortunate
in securing the excellent illustrations drawn Mr. William T. Trego, the well
known painter of military subjects.”
