During the early to late 1860’s landscapes were becoming more hyper-realistic due to the expansion of America with the Louisiana purchase. Artists were hired to go out with these brave colonials and paint the landscapes of this undiscovered region. What came back was absolutely breath taking.

In the past battle at Vimy, I’ve witnessed the death of thousands of young men just like me. During the nights of the battle, the constant deafening noises of the enemy shells, bombs, and explosives made gave me nightmares.
