I was thinking the same thing; every little detail is so wonderfully rendered in his work.

I have seen several episodes. Those are amazing sketches.



Beautiful work. Here is Jackson's appraisal of Turner Ashby, compliments of Wikipedia:

"As a partisan officer I never knew his superior; his daring was proverbial; his powers of endurance almost incredible; his tone of character heroic, and his sagacity almost intuitive in divining the purposes and movements of the enemy."
Turner was killed near the end of battle at Good's Farm as Jackson retreated from Winchester, VA.
