Product Details:

They Scrambled Up the Parapet and Went Over the Top, Pell Mell, Upon the British by Howard Pyle is a powerful and dynamic depiction of a pivotal moment in the Revolutionary War. Pyle depicts a key assault during the Revolutionary War, where American troops faced overwhelming odds to storm a British fortification at the the Siege of Yorktown (1781). "Pell-mell" is an expression that means doing something in a disorderly, chaotic, or hurried manner, often with little organization or control. In the context of Howard Pyle's painting the term describes the American soldiers charging recklessly and with wild energy over the fortifications to engage the British defenders. It highlights the chaotic and desperate nature of such a battle, emphasizing the intensity and lack of strict discipline in that moment. Yet, in this particular battle, this energy was what won the battle.
