The mural, painted by world-renowned artist, Robert Dafford, is located on the south side of the floodwall at the Fourth Street entrance to the Point Pleasant Riverfront Park. This mural depicts the Battle of Point Pleasant, fought on October 10, 1774. The Shawnee Indians, lead by Chief Cornstalk, attacked the newly arrived Virginia Militia, lead by Colonel Andrew Lewis just after daybreak. The battle lasted throughout the day. As darkness approached, the Shawnees pulled back across the Ohio River and made their way back to their village near what is now Chillicothe, OH. The Virginians pursued their attackers and negotiated a peace treaty at Camp Charlotte on October 25, 1774.
