First Historically Accurate Depiction
In 2012 artist Don Troiani completed the first historically authentic depiction of Benjamin Cleveland, titled "Benjamin Cleveland’s War Prize." Troiani teamed with experts from across the nation to ensure accuracy. The project was funded by Tennessee businessman and philanthropist Allan Jones and features Cleveland leading his troops back home to Wilkes County on Ferguson’s white stallion after the battle.
Cleveland County, North Carolina, Cleveland, Tennessee, and Cleveland, Georgia are named in his honor.
