On the Batcave Wall...
Night Crossing, by Mort Kunstler. Lee and Stonewall Jackson retreat across the Potomac after the Battle of Sharpsburg. Jack gave me that. It lends some dignity to the squalor it resides amongst.
Oh you rebs. It's Antietam, you get to name the battles when you win the war.

Thank the Lord the Damnedyankees were such bad shots, or I might not exist!
