Another Chintoys figure in their mounted Union Generals set is Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. Historically he wasn't charging on horseback as a Colonel at Gettysburg and may not have charged with drawn sword when he was a Fifth Corps commander at the end of the Civil War. I suspect that the makers had seen Gettysburg and guessed that American and European collectors were fans of...... Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.
I converted this figure to a Union Commander known for leading from the front on horseback on several occasions. That commander is Philip Sheridan.
