Boone Court House: A Story Told Around the Shirt
Remember a turbulent chapter of Appalachian Civil War history with the Boone Court House Assault & Burning Tribute All-Over Print Tee. Four coordinated artwork panels bring the September 1, 1861 theme to the front, back, and sleeves, creating a connected visual story rather than a single isolated graphic.
The Artwork
The design interprets the fighting and destruction at Boone Court House, the settlement now known as Madison, West Virginia. The front depicts Union infantry advancing across the Little Coal River against local Southern militia. The back portrays the subsequent burning of the courthouse, jail, and nearby buildings, with civilians carrying their belongings away.
Coordinated sleeve artwork identifies the Union’s 26th Ohio Infantry, 1st Kentucky Infantry, and Home Guards, alongside the Southern defenders of the 129th and 187th Virginia Militia and Black-Striped Company under Col. Ezekiel S. Miller. Dimensional illustrated scenes, gold banners, and historical identifiers carry the theme around the garment.

A Thoughtful Historical Tribute
