3 The winter scene depicts the 17th century Puritan settlers of New England (later identified specifically as the Pilgrim Fathers) as a small armed group of somberly clad, God-fearing souls making their way from right to left through a snowy, recently cleared wood to a house of worship (a small building visible in the left background). A minister and his wife lead about a half dozen women and children towards the church and are themselves led and flanked by grim looking men with muskets. The influence of the peasant procession paintings of French artist Jules Bastien-Lepage ( ) is evident. The outer molding of the present frame is thought to be of American manufacture, while the inner liner is English, and incorporates a rosette motif found on the frames of paintings by the Pre-Raphaelite artists.

5 Declaration of Independence is a 12-by-18-foot oil-on-canvas painting in the United States Capitol Rotunda that depicts the presentation of the draft of the Declaration of Independence to Congress. It was based on a much smaller version of the same scene, presently held by the Yale University Art Gallery.[1]

6 Molly Pitcher ( ) was a nickname given to a woman said to have fought in the American Battle of Monmouth, who is generally believed to have been Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley. Since various Molly Pitcher tales grew in the telling, many historians regard Molly Pitcher as folklore rather than history, or suggest that Molly Pitcher may be a composite image inspired by the actions of a number of real women. The name itself may have originated as a nickname given to women who carried water to men on the battlefield during the war. Army base Fort Bragg holds an annual event called "Molly Pitcher Day" showcasing weapon systems for family members, Airborne Operations, and Field Artillery.

7 Here stand the raw American militia in the main redoubt at Breed's Hill as they are about to fire upon the seemingly endless advancing ranks of British regulars. Colonel Prescott stands on the works with his sword ready to give the famous command that would reshape American history forever.

8 One of the most iconic works on the American Revolution, March to Valley Forge was painted in Philadelphia. Trego s inspiration was a passage from Washington Irving s Life of Washington: Sad and dreary was the march to Valley Forge, uncheered by the recollection of any recent triumph... Hungry and cold were the poor fellows who had so long been keeping the field... provisions were scant, clothing was worn out, and so badly were they off for shoes, that the footsteps of many might be tracked in blood.

10 The Surrender of Lord Cornwallis is an oil painting by John Trumbull. The painting was completed in 1820, and hangs in the rotunda of the United States Capitol in Washington, D. C. The painting depicts the surrender of British Major General Charles, Earl Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia on October 19, 1781, ending the Siege of Yorktown, and virtually guaranteeing American independence. Included in the depiction are many leaders of the American troops that took part in the siege.

12 Ranney was often known for painting scenes of everyday life on the prairie. In this particular piece, he portrayed a group of Western immigrants, including a family, camped with their wagon for the evening. They are listening to tales of what they have yet to encounter on their journey west. Print measures 29 inches by 20 inches.

13 In 1838 and 1839, as part of Andrew Jackson's Indian removal policy, the Cherokee nation was forced to give up its lands east of the Mississippi River and to migrate to an area in present-day Oklahoma. The Cherokee people called this journey the "Trail of Tears," because of its devastating effects. The migrants faced hunger, disease, and exhaustion on the forced march. Over 4,000 out of 15,000 of the Cherokees died.

14 November 30,1864 General Cleburne, the gallant leader is pictured here leading his troops in their headlong frontal assault on the entrenched Northerners at Franklin, Tennessee.
