English: Painting of the Canoe Fight by Kelly Fitzpatrick
Proposed but not approved for a mural at the post office in Ozark, Alabama. Excerpt of the description from The Living New Deal: Fitzpatrick was awarded the commission on the basis of work he had done under TRAP, an earlier Treasury program. He actually proposed several different themes, including a scene from local history depicting a famous battle between Samuel Dale and local native Americans ... The Section however wanted him to try a local industry theme. They suggested as a model the easel painting of a mill that he had previously produced under PWAP, and which was then hanging in the White House. That sketch was ultimately approved and used. When the mural was installed a notice in the local paper complimented it highly.
