This vignette represents a true historical moment in the American Civil War. At the Campaign of Second Manassas (August 27-September 1, 1862) the Confederate Army of North Virginia, under General Robert E. Lee, overran and captured a Union artillery battery. Major General John Pope of the Union Army of Virginia lost 26 of his best artillerymen on the hilltop known as "Battery Heights".

"To the victors go the spoils" and in this engagement it was the Confederates who added to their arsenal.
