Lee at Appomattox

by Francis J. Barnum

This is part of Barnum’s Civil War series produced through Chilmark Fine Pewter—one of his more historically significant themes.

What “Lee at Appomattox” represents

The sculpture depicts the moment surrounding the end of the Civil War at Appomattox Court House (April 1865), involving:

Robert E. Lee
His surrender to Ulysses S. Grant

Barnum typically captures:

Lee mounted or in formal posture
A quiet, solemn interaction rather than battle action
Strong emotional tone—dignity, defeat, and closure

This piece is more symbolic and historical versus action-driven works like his battlefield scenes.
What “The Cavalier” statue is
A limited-edition pewter sculpture produced in the 1990s (commonly by Chilmark).
Depicts a mounted Civil War cavalry officer—well-groomed, bearded, and posed in a composed, almost aristocratic style.
The title “Cavalier” reflects the romanticized image of a gentleman soldier (historically, “cavalier” means a horseman or aristocratic fighter).
