Beyond the Battlefield
is a fine art series with a dual focus:

Sword Across the Threshold takes the viewer into the private lives and emotional turmoil of the 1860's family as they confront the conflict of a divided nation. The call to battle soon forces them to confront their own divided loyalties to home and country as the needs and duties to each collide.

The Union is Dissolved! The Union Forever! United We Stand

Women of Distinction recognizes women of the Civil War era whose contributions are well known, but whose faces are not. Based on existing biographical information and availability of period photographic images, A. V. Lindenberger has rendered likenesses to give these deserving women a face to remember.
