Terrific.  I remember going to see it as a kid.  I look forward to seeing it again in person soon.

It seems that almost no one now living has seen it in its original configuration and size. Can't wait.

I meant to add that the photos on which the painting was based were taken from the top of the Union signal tower which was at the center of the battlefield, which is about ten blocks from my home here in Atlanta.
