Brigadier General Lysander Cutler, commanding the 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, 1st Corps. Heavily engaged on the 1st July - the 147th NY lost 207 men killed and wounded from a strength of 380 in only 30 minutes during the confused fighting in the vicinity of McPherson's Ridge.
He lost two horses that day, so I painted up this silver bay. He isn't fixed on the horse as I want the flexibility to change from Regimental to Brigade F 'n F. The horse was originally from the AWI Generals pack, with some resculpting of the pommel holsters.
Cutler was converted from the Crimean War British command pack, with a kepi added. The kepi may be replaced if I come across any evidence to suggest he wore a Hardee hat (after all he was nominated for command of the Iron Brigade) or a slouch during this campaign. Information of this type is always welcome.
