General Polk CDV, engraved image, neck-up view of CSA General Leonidas Polk, motly, no backmark. The Northern shot rained near the Confederate generals; Dilworth warned them to move. Hardee and Johnston walked away; Dilworth noticed General Polk held back, apparently distracted by some view of the enemy's lines. Then came an artillery round - a solid shot or a shell - which struck Polk, entering his left side and passing through his body. The general fell dead, instantly killed.
