Gettysburg, PA November 18th, 1863 6PM President Abraham Lincoln arrives at the railroad station for the dedication of the National Cemetery the following day.
I have often wondered about the logistics of Washington’s famous crossing before Trenton. The painting by Leutze in 1851 showing Washington standing in the boat was a fantasy. The reality was that the crossing on the 25th & 26th of December 1776 was at night in bad weather. I wanted to paint a more realistic image of this famous scene. The Durham boats that got the army across were cargo boats used along the Delaware River, mostly ore carriers. The boats were crewed for Washington’s army by men from Marblehead MA.
Dale’s newest release Surprise Christmas Crossing 1776 depicting Washington at Trenton will be available in a few weeks. Here is a video of Dale adding some finishing touches to the painting.
Wyatt visited Gettysburg & emailed contact@gallon.com to set up a meeting to meet Dale to share this portrait that Dale painted of Wyatt when he was 11 years old. Dale is currently painting a portrait for another customer similar to this. Contact us for private commissions!
Gallon Historical Art has worked with dozens of authors and other creatives who want to use Dale’s artwork in their projects. Below are some of the books that feature Dale’s work on the cover. If you have a project and would like to use one of Dale’s images, please reach out today.

We will be acting as the agent for five Gallon original oil paintings that are currently available for sale. They are from the estate of a valued customer. These are oils that are well known and many of you have prints from them.
Dale was one of the original board members of the Friends of the National Park which is now the Gettysburg Foundation. He donated many art pieces to the Foundation through the years which they have used for fundraising.
Dale was Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 73 & Anne was Cubmaster & Den Leader for Cub Pack 73 sponsored by the Gettysburg Presbyterian church (the church Lincoln visited after giving the Gettysburg Address and President Dwight Eisenhower’s church). The three Gallon sons are Eagle Scouts.
Since 2015 Dale & Anne have been working with Guiding Eyes for the Blind to raise puppies that will become a guide dog for a blind person. They receive the 8 wk. old puppy and keep him until he is approximately 16 months old. They provide basic training and much socialization. Then they return the pup to Guiding Eyes in Yorktown Heights, NY where professional trainers prepare the dog to be a guide.
Dale & Anne have raised two dogs, George & Carlton and are currently raising Arnold.
