“New York Zouave” by Francis Barnum

The New York Zouave sculpture is based on the famous Zouave regiments from New York that fought for the Union Army during the Civil War.

Zouaves were known for:

colorful uniforms,
elite drill and discipline,
and aggressive battlefield reputations.

Their uniforms included:

baggy trousers,
short jackets,
sashes,
and fez-style caps modeled after French North African troops.

Barnum’s sculpture usually emphasizes:

dramatic motion,
distinctive Zouave clothing,
and the energetic style associated with these famous regiments.

Historically, some of the most famous New York Zouave units included:

the 5th New York “Duryee’s Zouaves,”
the 11th New York “Fire Zouaves,”
and the 140th New York Zouaves.

The Zouaves became nationally famous early in the war because of:

their flashy appearance,
highly publicized drill exhibitions,
and fierce fighting reputation.

Many Zouave units fought in major battles including:

First Manassas,
Antietam,
Gettysburg,
and Fredericksburg.

Francis Barnum’s sculpture captures the excitement and bold identity of these soldiers, who became some of the most recognizable troops of the Civil War era.

“Confederate Cherokee” by Francis Barnum

The “Confederate Cherokee” sculpture focuses on Cherokee soldiers who fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War.

Many people do not realize that Native Americans participated on both sides of the conflict. Some Cherokee groups allied with the Confederacy, especially in Indian Territory (modern Oklahoma).

The most famous Cherokee Confederate leader was:

Stand Watie

Stand Watie became one of the few Native American generals in the Confederate Army and was the last Confederate general to surrender after the war ended.

Barnum’s sculpture typically symbolizes:

Native American warriors serving in Confederate forces,
frontier-style cavalry or mounted soldiers,
and the complicated political divisions within the Cherokee Nation during the Civil War.

Historically, the Cherokee Nation itself became divided:

some supported the Union,
some supported the Confederacy,
and internal conflict developed between Cherokee factions.

The sculpture reflects:

Native American participation in the Civil War,
frontier warfare in the western theater,
and the cultural complexity of the conflict beyond the eastern battlefields.
