THE CONFEDERATE SPIRIT

The story of the Confederate spirit is told here through 88 spectacular works of art including 30 that have never been seen in any book. Included are Lee, Longstreet, Morgan, Forrest, and others. Mort Künstler is America's most collected Civil War artist because "his art humanizes historical events in a very positive, moving manner-and that's what make people so passionate about it," according to museum director Frances McCarthy.
