A Short History of General Leonidas Polk, from the Histories of Genera
A bearded man in a gray military coat with gold stars on his collar is shown in a portrait above a banner naming Leonidas Polk. Below, a soldier waves a flag atop a mound amid drifting battlefield smoke.
Look closer: Faint distant smoke drifts over the battle scene behind the flag-bearing soldier.
