Moses Ezekiel Civil War Soldier, Renowned Sculptor
by Stan Cohen & Keith Gibson
Few artists of the 19th century were as well-known during their lifetime as was Moses Ezekiel. The first Jewish cadet at the Virginia Military Institute, he fought in the battle of New Market in 1864. Encouraged by General R. E. Lee to pursue his artistic calling, Ezekiel studied in Europe and became the first American to win the coveted Prix de Rome. The expatriate Virginian established his studio in the ancient Baths of Diocletian in Rome. Three European monarchs knighted Ezekiel for his works; he was a favorite among artists, composers and fellow expatriates. Visiting Ezekiel”s studio was a must-see stop for American tourists, including Ulysses S. Grant and Theodore Roosevelt.

The General & The Texas
A Pictorial History of the Andrews Raid, April 12, 1862
by Stan Cohen & James G. Bogle
The Andrews Raid, or as it is more commonly known “The Great Locomotive Chase,” involved a small raiding party of 22 troopers from several Ohio regiments and two civilians including James J. Andrews, the leader. It was a very risky venture designed to disrupt rail traffic between two important Southern supply cities, Chattanooga, Tenn., and Atlanta, Ga.
