Portrait Of Robert H. Milroy
Oil painting of Union general Robert Huston Milroy. Major general of the 9th Indiana Infantry Regiment, Milroy is most known for the defeat of the Second Battle of Winchester in 1863 during the Civil war. The painting was given to Milroy as a Christmas in 1871. Painting has fallen out of frame and shows signs of old age. The color is slightly faded. On the back is original writing saying "Presented to Gen R.H. Milroy Christmas day. 1871". The frame has some cracks and paint chips. There is a newspaper cutout from the 1917s giving a description of Milroy on a separate cardboard piece. Overall fair condition.
