Sterling Price – Missouri’s General
August 18, 2011
Recently finished reading about the remarkable and tragic story of Sterling Price, a man who risked and lost much for his beloved Missouri home. I was prompted to go out and find out more on the internet, and noticed that there is a General Sterling Price Days Festival in Keytesville, Mo. Upon seeing this, I wondered how many young people (or adults, for that matter), know much about this Missouri hero. And so, I set out to create an illustration that would stylistically capture Mr. Price with a friendly style – which will hopefully prompt people into finding out more about our history.
