About The Artwork
Private Collection- The Second Battle of Cynthiana consisted of three separate engagement on June 11 and 12, 1864, in and near the town of Cynthiana, Kentucky. Although John Hunt Morgan initially defeated two smaller Union forces on June 11, the battle the next day resulted in a Union victory and ended Morgan’s Last Kentucky Raid. On June 11, Morgan and his 1,200 cavalrymen surrounded Cynthiana and launched an attack against the 300-man home guard, setting fire to the town and destroying many buildings. Meanwhile, another Union force of 750 men under command of General Edward H. Hobson arrived north of town at Keller’s Bridge. Hobson’s troops fought Morgan’s force for about six hours, eventually trapping them and taking them prisoner. While considered part of the Second Battle of Cynthiana, this engagement with Hobson is also known as the Battle of Keller’s Bridge. Morgan decided to take a chance the following day on another contest. General Stephen G. Burbridge, with a force of 2,400 men, attacked Morgan at dawn on June 12, driving the Rebels back and causing them to flee. Only a small fraction of Morgan’s men escaped with their lives, including Hunt and some of his officers.

Jeff Trexler is a Professional Artist and Illustrator. His love for painting and drawing developed at a young age. Over the years his talent was obvious to all who saw his work. He became a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. It was there he crafted his talent through long classes of figure study, landscape, and animal drawing. This is where he learned composition, color theory and what made a painting work and not work. Jeff studied under the instruction of some excellent teachers. Oliver Grimly and Renee Foulks. They let the young artist express himself and paint his passion. It was during these two classes he learned the most, and mastered his pencil work. Jeff has combined his love for history with his passion for art , and has developed into an outstanding and exciting young artist. The artist is currently working with the Camp Chase Gazette and other civil war publications. "There are so many paintings to be done " he says "It is just a matter of research and time. Many of Jeff's original Paintings now reside in various private collections. "I want to tell their story, bring it to life, for people to see and learn about. That is why I do this. I love to be able to think about how a scene may have looked and translate that to the canvas." Please Find us on FB or my site www.trexlerhistoricalart.com
