		An unknown to biographical dictionaries and most art critics, Archibald M. Willard was the son of a Vermont Baptist minister who had removed to Ohio and grandson ol an old Green Mountain Boy who was present at Burgoyne’s surrender.
		Willard had no thought of delineating three generations of one family, but the inference could be drawn, and the creator accepted the interpretation.
		Willard’s art has indeed influenced life, for the figments of his imagination have become features of many a subsequent parade, such as New York’s great Preparedness Day Parade in 1916, when 123,000 marchers streamed up Fifth Avenue behind living replicas of The Spirit of ’76.

		The 8' x 10' oil painting was created by Archibald Willard at the suggestion of Cleveland photographer James F. Ryder, who felt that a semihumorous, patriotic painting would be appropriate for showing at the 1876 U.S. centennial exhibition in Philadelphia.
		Hugh Moser, a Civil War veteran and friend of Willard's, posed as the fifer; Henry K. Devereux, son of General John H. Devereux, served as the model for the drummer; and Willard's father, Rev. Samuel Willard, served as the inspiration for the flag bearer.
		The authentic original, substantially altered by Willard in an 1893 "retouching," is currently in Marblehead, MA.

		Willard used his father, a friend, and a military cadet as models and dressed them up as musicians.
		Once the picture had gained such popularity, Willard re-painted several versions of it, most of which were a little less comical than the original.
		However, close examination of the early versions that still hang in museums will reveal unnaturally exuberant characters in the background, and an inebriated man lying on a wagon wheel in the foreground, who is unable to stand and salutes from a prone position.

		In his paintings Surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown and Surrender of General Burgoyne at Saratoga, artist John Trumbull (1756-1843) appears to portray the stars as forming a square along the four edges of the canton (with an additional single star in the middle of the canton in the first painting).
		Later, Archibald Willard added confusion to the arrangement of the stars in his famous painting Spirit of '76 (originally completed in 1875 but with a better-known version painted in 1891).
		Rightly or wrongly, the arrangement of stars most associated with the first U.S. national flag is a circle of 13 stars--often termed the "Betsy Ross flag"--popularized in the famous painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware.
