The American Soldier Series

These full-color reproductions of paintings are the third of three sets of ten each of a series of thirty entitled, “THE AMERICAN SOLIDER.” The first set of this series covering the years 1881 to 1855 was issued in 1964; the second covering the years 1863 to 1963 was issued in 1966. This set spans the period of 1775 to 1965 and is intended to stand as a complete series by itself, or it may be used to fill gaps in the first two series.
