Auction to support the Virginia Flaggers

The Virginia Flaggers are holding an auction to celebrate their 13th anniversary and to honor their founder, Barry Isenhour. They created this photo gallery to showcase the items that have been donated. The items include a beautiful “Johnny Reb” sculpture, a cross-stitch picture of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, a Nathan Bedford Forrest pin, a Robert E. Lee marble tabletop monument, various Confederate related fine art prints, and many more cool things. Regardless of whether you’re interested in participating (or able to), looking at the collection of Confederate memorabilia will bring a smile to your face.

The second coming of Robert E. Lee

The Civil War artifact store Union Drummer Boy, located in Gettysburg, PA, is the new home of a statue of Robert E. Lee.

The store announced earlier this month:

“We are honored to have acquired this special statue of General Robert E. Lee by Rudolph Evans. This wonderfully executed statue was the artist study for his bronze which was completed for the University of Virginia where it stood until 2020 and was removed. This example stands at 8 feet 3 inches. Stop by and see him in person!”
As a commenter on the Facebook post correctly stated: “Awesome! Huge loss for University of Virginia. Huge win for Union Drummer Boy.”
