Javal, I was wondering about the picture you have on the CWi Main Mast Homepage (the 2 wounded soldiers). Guess you could say it "speaks to me" and I was wondering what its origin was. It is a nice picture and really dresses up the homepage.
Yep, spoke to me too. Below is the original and the story behind it. I photoshopped it to get the mast....
Recognition (1865)
The above Painting Was painted in May of 1865 by Constant Mayer, a painter from Alabama. His brother was a Soldier in the 11th Mississippi infantry and was captured late in the war. The Family believed he was dead but in fact he was rescued by a old friend serving in the Union Army. Soon after the surrender of the Confederate Army Constant's brother returned home escorted by his friend,inspiring his brother to paint Recognition. The Original Painting is now in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
