“Counterattack”

“Counterattack” is one of four art pieces created by Sidney E. King for an exhibit on Colbert’s Raid, the Revolutionary War skirmish at Arkansas Post on April 17, 1783.

Under the Spanish Captain Jacobo Dubreuil’s orders, Sergeant Alexo Pastor and thirteen men threw open the gates of Fort Carlos III, gave a war whoop, and charged the raiders. Captain James Colbert’s larger band of partisans fell back in retreat.
