Capt Charles Main

This is a figure inspired by the character Captain Charles Main from the TV mini-series North and South Book II, from 1986. Actor Charles Lewis played the part of a captain in Hampton’s Legion, who was a West Point graduate and had fought the indians in Texas before the outbreak of the Civil War.
