The series is based on Joy Hakim's book, History of US. In conjunction with the television series, a traveling exhibit will be highlighted in 20 cities across the United States. This exhibit, displaying documents and old photos, and letters from people who traveled the underground railroad and who were instrumental in securing various freedoms in the U.S. will be displayed at the University of Connecticut Stamford campus beginning February 5th until February 13th. The collection will include personal letters, documents, handwritten notes of speeches, and letters by leading figures in American History. In addition to the Freedom collection, there will be special performances and local historic artifacts.

Mr. Martin (right) and Gary Mathers (left) meet at the Wyoming Valley CWRT in Dallas Pennsylvania. The American Civil War has scarred the collective consciousness of our nation and its people. In his Gettysburg series of drawings and fine art prints, Mr. Martin has tried to touch that consciousness and heal those scars, by bringing a fresh and unique perspective to Civil War art by focusing on the landscapes and monuments of the battlefield. Like countless other people, Mr. Martin feels drawn by a compelling force to Gettysburg and other Civil War sites. His research and understanding of the horror and sacrifices that took place there, combined with the spiritual and tranquil beauty of the quiet fields, have inspired his Landscapes. His drawings are a contemporary approach to a romantic theme; contemplative and meditative while paying tribute to the valor and honor of the men who fought and died there over 135 years ago. They are respectful of the heroic deeds but also attempt to reflect the awareness of the tragic, sorrowful and poignant atmosphere that pervades the now silent fields. Mr. Martin has striven to capture this thought-provoking nature of the battlefield as it is viewed today, with images that create a visual, emotional and sentimental connection between the present-day visitor and the historic events and dramatic conflict of the past. It is his ultimate goal to evoke the many human emotions that are felt out on the battlefield and to transcend those emotions with imaginative and creative visions. It is Mr. Martin’s hope that the viewer is instilled with the same sense of awe and inspiration that draws him back, time and time again to the hallowed places where, “…spirits linger, to consecrate ground for the vision-place of souls.” Paul R. Martin III is a professional artist and freelance illustrator. He received his BA in art from Southampton College and his MA in Drawing from Long Island University. He has exhibited his drawings and paintings throughout the New York Metropolitan area for the past 20 years. His original drawings and prints are on permanent display at the Robert E. Lee Civil War Research Center and Library, The Civil War Library and Museum of Philadelphia, Herbert Alumni Hall at West Point, and hundreds of private collections throughout the country. He has received many commissions and just completed a one-man exhibit of his drawings at the Gettysburg Cyclorama Visitors Center Gallery during the summer of 2000. He has been teaching art in the Pearl River School District since 1985 where he teaches drawing, painting and sculpture. He has lectured regularly throughout the Country at Schools, Round Tables and Historical Societies. His advertisements for his fine art prints appear regularly in all of the major Civil War periodicals, including The Civil War Times, Blue and Gray, Civil War Magazine, America’s Civil War, North and South as well as The Civil War News, Crossroads To History and The Battlefield Journal.
