MEET the GENERALS!! Steve
Alexander, Monroe,
Michigan Brigadier
General George Armstrong Custer... “The [Civil] war “proved Custer was simply the greatest cavalry tactician of the Union
Army, perhaps the greatest of either army North or South. The fame and rewards he gained were more than earned by not just
his boldness and courage but his military acuity.”
Stephen Budiansky Larry and Constance
Clowers, General
and Mrs. Ulyssess S. Grant Although a soldier by profession, I have never
felt any sort of fondness for war, and I have never advocated it, except as a means of peace. Ulysses S. Grant

Tim
Kurtz ... graduated
from the Art Institute of Chicago with a Masters Degree in painting and drawing with a focus on abstract art. His art
work has been shown from New York to Chicago and Sri Lanka. In 2009, as a Civil War reenactor with a deep interest in history , an historian
approached Tim and wanted to know if he could help preserve an endangered battlefield by painting the historic battle fought
there. It sounded like an interesting challenge to Tim. The painting that was created for that project surprised
Tim at how well it was received. Soon thereafter there were several more requests from historical organizations for
similar paintings. Tim continues to paint for these causes and donates a portion of the profits to these organizations.
When Tim isn't creating Civil War battlefield paintings,
you will find him riding his war charger, Joey, into battle reenactments with the Michigan Calvary Brigade or crewing the
cannon of Bledsoe's Missouri Battery.
