Clarification of Question by imageguy-ga on 26 Sep 2003 09:17 PDT

A copy of the James Walker painting "The Battle of Chickamauga" is
shown on the Holbrook trip web page.  The Question I have submitted is
"where is the "original painting" now located?", not a copy. A photo
of the painting is also available on the Library of Congress website.
I need to know what institution, museum, or person(s)has or owns the
original painting.

Note to Pinkfreud:
The painting on that web page is the same painting that the Library of
Congress indentifies as "The Battle of Chickamauga" by James Walker:

Typo:
"... identifies..."

A part of the painting is shown on the Holbrook trip web page and is
also shown complete on the Library of Congress web page listed on the
comment.

It looks as if the Battle of Chickamauga may be located at the same
place or in the same general area.  It is a 13 ft. by 33 ft. mural
commissioned by a general Fighting Joe Hooker for $20,000.  Contact
this number for more information (423) 821-7786 (Chickamauga &
Chattanooga National Military Park) and the mural may possibly be on
display at 110 E. Brow Rd. (haven't been able yet to determine the
exact city).  Someone at the park number can probably give you more
information.  If not successful, then post a response as I may have an
alternate phone number to check.  Are you interested in purchasing
this mural or just curious about it?
