ERRATA: The original version of this article mistakenly stated that the painting titled “Battle of the Cowpens” by Don Troiani was painted in 1781, but Mr. Troiani is very much alive and painted it in 1988! Apologies to Mr. Troiani (who was gracious about the error) and you, the reader, for this 207-year mistake! The editor regrets the oversight.
