Additional Description: Representation of the African-American unit of the Union Army who fought and held Helena, Arkansas during the Civil War.

Six are shown here with two aiming their rifles toward the enemy, one is reloading, one is standing with drawn sword, one cradles a wounded comrade in his arms. The figures are made of Cor-Ten steel and their accessories --rifles & sword--are stainless steel. Phoenix Creative Metal Art - Scott & Laura Kellersberger
