    William Trego was a painter who could barely hold a brush. He had to move his entire body to mix his colors. Yet Trego’s highly detailed and powerful battle scenes from the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussion War were widely exhibited and critically acclaimed during the late nineteenth century. Partially paralyzed by a childhood illness, Trego never experienced the horrors of war, but his uncanny ability to portray battle from the point of view of the fighting men and horses was much admired. Professor Joseph Eckhardt follows the arc of this artist’s remarkable career and ultimately tragic life.
