The Burning of Chambersburg -- July 30, 1864

Painted by Ron Lesser, the original oil painting (41"x27") was commissioned by F&M Trust for the 2004 Commemoration of the 140th Anniversary of the Burning of Chambersburg in July 1864.
Left to right is the Franklin Hall, the Courthouse, and the Crawford Building.
The figures shown left to right are Major Harry Gilmor, a Confederate officer, Brig. Gen. John McCausland C.O., Brig. Gen Bradley T. Johnson (2nd in command), Capt. Henry Fitzhugh, two color bearers and trooper.

Failing to obtain a tribute of $500,000 in currency or $100,000 in gold in retribution for the burning of property by the Federal army in Virginia, a force of over 2,800 cavalry under the command of Confederate General John McCausland burned the town of Chambersburg - leaving thousands homeless.
