General Joseph Eggleston Johnston
Johnston commanded the Army of Northern Virginia, where at the Battle of Seven Pines he was grievously wounded and replaced by Robert E Lee. He served with distinction at Manassas and later was placed in command of the Department of the West and the Army of Tennessee. From 1865 to the end of the war, Johnston opposed Sherman and the march North. Although frictions between Johnston and some Confederate leaders persisted during his tenure, Johnston remained loved by his men, to whom he remained devoted.
This beautiful piece is framed in a cherry stained solid wood shadowbox, 12 by 10 inches and 2 and 1/8 inches deep, with a glass face - all made in the USA. It includes the relics as described above. The depth of the box adds a beautiful effect to the piece. Annotations are on the back of the frame and each has been individually signed by AMHSoc, denoting its origin as the limited edition piece that it is. Images are available in gray tones and Sepia.
