| "On the Skirmish Line" BRONZE SCULPTURE Edition . . 30 Size . . 22"H  |
| When called upon to fight on foot, every fourth man of a set of fours would hold the other three troopers' horses and lead them back out of firing range. The dismounted men would form a "Skirmish Line" at 6-9 foot intervals.
This bronze depicts a trooper fighting on the line in the mid-1870's. He is wearing the M1872 pleated blouse and folding campaign hat. He is armed with the 1873 Colt SAA .45 cal. Revolver and 1873 Springfield carbine with the carbine cartridges carried in a modified Civil War sabre-belt.. His steady eye and coolness under fire prove him to be a veteran. |
Bronze Sculpture
In keeping with his deep spiritual convictions and social consciousness, Muir's sculptural subjects have expanded to reflect the critical nature of the times in which we live. Yet, whether historical or contemporary, "the golden thread that ties it all together is still my never-ending quest for the essence of life- for Truth in its purest form."
