Originally contracted for seven illustrations, artist Arthur Shilstone was unable to complete the contract due to extensive changes required by the park staff and because both the term of his contract and the specific Task Order for the work for Fort Necessity National Battlefield had expired. Arthur Shilstone was not interested in further work on this project. In order to maintain the original quality and style of Mr. Shilstone's work and to make changes to ensure historical accuracy, the remaining illustrations were modified and completed by Rob Wood of Wood Ronsaville Harlin, Inc. under separate contract.; Abbr=WE
