Lee & Jackson at the Cracker Box Conference depicts the final strategy meeting between Generals "Stonewall" Jackson and Robert E. Lee, at the battle of Chancellorsville. Seated on ration boxes that would give this meeting the name, “Cracker Barrel Conference” Jackson and Lee discussed the strategy that made Chancellorsville Lee’s greatest victory.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Francis J. Barnum, veteran, historian and artist, does much more than just sculpt scenes from the Civil War. His chosen medium is three-dimensional metal sculpture. He has redefined the genre and has established standards by which future sculptors are judged. Through meticulous research and attention to detail, Barnum explores a spectrum of subjects from action-filled climaxes in well-known battle to the most personal and emotional moments of ordinary people as they struggled to answer their country's call to war.
