It took James Walker four years to finish his 13- by 30-foot painting The Battle of Lookout Mountain, which Joseph Hooker (shown prominently on a white horse) commissioned for $20,000 in trying to enhance his legacy. A well-known artist, Walker personally witnessed the November 1863 victory. (National Park Service)
