This work of art depicts the attack of the Confederate lancers from Company B of the 5th Texas Cavalry Regiment at the Battle of Valverde Ford. Lancer attacks had been used successfully many times by the Mexican Army over the years but that success would not be duplicated here. This was the first - and last - lancer charge by either the Union or Confederacy for the entire war. They suffered almost 100% casualties of both men and horses in just a few short minutes.
