should have done seeing that tho
Colonel was not there but at Kettle
flill full three miles away. When
Nerestchagin. the Russian, painted the
picture of this battle, the Petersburg
IndeX-Appeal says the Colonel Wen
out to Fort NIycr three times to pose
for place In the foreground; but
that was only to give character to the
painting and not 10 make 1T appear
that he was. in fact, an incident OF
the event. Nerestchasin followed tile
artistic sense, whereas Christy has
confined himself and his brush to the
facts, the Colonel having repeatedly
declared that he was not in this
charge. Some genius, however, ought
TO invent a picture Of the time when
the Colonel got one Of the bloody
Spanlards when he was running away.
That would be not only fine art, but
true history.
