Don Troiani (born 1949) is an American painter renowned for his highly realistic depictions of American military history, particularly scenes from the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. His work is academic in style and is most often executed in oil on canvas or gouache on paper. Troiani is known for using posed models dressed in clothing and equipped with gear from his extensive collection of original uniforms, accoutrements, insignia, and weapons. He also conducts meticulous firsthand research, studying battlefields, weather conditions, and surviving structures to ensure historical accuracy. Some of his original paintings have been exhibited at the Museum of the American Revolution and the Heinz History Center.

The image depicts the 5th Texas Regiment's attempt to capture Little Round Top, at Gettysburg, on July 2nd, 1863. The regiment was unsuccessful, despite making several charges that day. The 5th Texas suffered over 50% causalities in the battle for Little Round Top.
