"Southern Commanders"

Artwork on Union Commanders...

US Capitol upper left, White House upper right, General Winfield Scott portrait on the wall. The other hung art looks like the Monitor and Merrimack and I don't recognize the second piece... and who is the guy hanging on the rigging??
 
Covering the other art work shown on the Southern Commanders, the Confederate Capitol in Richmond is shown upper left, the seal of the Confederacy with its equestrian George Washington is centered on the arched tableau, on the right is a photograph of the Capitol Square statue of Stonewall Jackson newly (1875) presented to Virginia by a group of English gentlemen, lower left is the CSS Alabama, and lower right is the CSS Virgina versus the USS Cumberland. I believe that the center painting shows the bombardment of Fort Sumter. I don't have a clue on the other two...

You got your money's worth on this free giveaway from Traverler's Insurance! There was an earlier version that had A B Hill instead of Semmes and Longstreet in place of Forrest.
Was that how Gen. Albert Pike dressed at Pea Ridge? Maybe that's why he lost. He thought it was a Freemason's gathering rather than a battle. Maybe the Native Americans liked that outfit better too.
