Point Pleasant, WV 6.19.10


After the Martin Family Reunion, several of us visited Point Pleasant, WV--just across the Ohio River from where we attended the reunion.
















Looking across the Ohio River at the banks of Ohio.
















Cheryl showing Noah the details in the artist's rendering of the Battle of Point Pleasant. The canvas for the artist's work is the flood wall that protects the village of Point Pleasant should the Ohio River ever exceed its banks. The artist hires a man to paint the background and then he returns with pencil in hand and draws his next sequence. Once the pencil sketches are complete he paints the sequence with intense detail--amazing.
























Alexander and Noah by Cornstalk and General Lewis (I believe) with the Battle painted on the flood wall behind.

Wendy,
I do marketing for a Christian Travel Company and would like to use your photo of Point Pleasant in a brochure we are doing for a American Queen steamboat Cruise. Do I have your permission to use the photo of the Battle Moument at Tu-Endie-Wei State Park?
