Patton, Jr. THE AMERICAN SOLDIER The inclosed full-color reproductions of paintings are the first ten of a series of twenty entitled, "The American Soldier." Issued in 1964. To create these drawings, the Office of the Chief of Military History commissioned H. Charles McBarron, dean of American military artists. As part of the Army Historical Program, the series depicts the American fighting men at various periods in our history. No effort has been spared to insure that uniforms, arms, and equipment are portrayed with utmost accuracy. As an initial step in producing the paintings for this new series, Mr. McBarron prepared a preliminary charcoal sketch for each period covered and submitted it with queries to OCM. There, experts resolved the historical problems and Mr. McBarron then painted the final version. Additional sets of the two series are available through the Goverment Printing Office.
