“Kennesaw Mountain” refers to the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, fought during American Civil War on June 27, 1864, in Georgia. The battle was part of General William Tecumseh Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign against Joseph E. Johnston.

Barnum’s sculpture would typically depict:

Union soldiers advancing uphill under heavy fire
Defensive Confederate positions entrenched on the ridge
Dramatic, high-relief motion and tension (a signature of his style)
About Francis Barnum pewter pieces

Barnum’s Civil War sculptures are known for:

Solid pewter casting (often heavy, sometimes limited edition)
Highly detailed battlefield scenes or famous commanders
Titles tied to key moments or personalities from the war
Collectability among Civil War and military art enthusiasts
What the piece is
Title: Kennesaw Mountain
Maker: Chilmark Fine Pewter (USA)
Artist: Barnum
Typical issue: limited edition (often around 350 pieces)
Example size: roughly ~9–10 inches tall on a wood base

It represents the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, a brutal frontal assault during the American Civil War where Union forces attacked entrenched Confederate positions.

What it looks like (typical Barnum style)
Multi-figure battlefield scene (not just a single soldier)
Strong motion—troops advancing uphill under fire
Detailed terrain (rock, ridge, defensive works)
Heavy pewter casting on a hardwood base with title plaque

Barnum’s work is known for historical accuracy and dramatic action, which is why these pieces were marketed heavily through collectors’ galleries.
What “The Cavalier” statue is
A limited-edition pewter sculpture produced in the 1990s (commonly by Chilmark).
Depicts a mounted Civil War cavalry officer—well-groomed, bearded, and posed in a composed, almost aristocratic style.
The title “Cavalier” reflects the romanticized image of a gentleman soldier (historically, “cavalier” means a horseman or aristocratic fighter).
