Item Description
This photo of a reenactment of the Civil War Battle of Round Mountain was captured using a full-frame Canon camera. A black and white aged effect was added in post production. The image has been fused onto the surface of a specially treated lightweight metal sheet, and the result is an extremely durable, waterproof, scratch resistant piece, which can be easily cleaned with glass cleaner. (16" x 20")
The Battle of Round Mountain is listed as the first battle fought in Indian Territory during the Civial War. This historic battle which was fought in Payne County saw approximately 1,400 Confederate soldiers under the command of Col. Douglas H. Cooper pursue roughly 9,000 Unionist civilians led by Opothleyahola, a famous Upper Creek leader. These civilians were attempting to avoid an alliace with the Confederacy and ultimately chose to flee to the protection of Union forces in Kansas. Colonel Cooper set out on November 19, 1861, in an attempt to coerce Opothleyahola into submission. Each February, the town of Yale, Oklahoma comes alive with the Battle of Round Mountain Reenactment.
