I had actually guessed the event (but then I cheated to make sure).


Charlton Heston in 'Moses: the National Rifleman'.


He looks like an old white man. He doesn't look much like a Berber or a Moor.

It was very confusing because the man on horseback wielding an axe reminded me of the equestrian statue of Richard the Lionheart outside the Houses of Parliament in London, but then grobnok said it wasn't the Crusades, so I thought probably something involving Turks in Bulgaria or Serbia, but then the dress looked too old, but the cross on reflection looks like the French wayside crosses, so....

feh. Artistic licence.

Where's photography when you need it?

Not an expedition. It's a drawing of colonial troops on their way to put down the Northwest Rebellion. The drawing is of them marching across part of Lake Superior.

Interesting. I didn't think it got that bad around there that frequently.

In any case, since I guess I was closest, I'll post the next picture:
