The South Shall Rise Again...With a Little Help from T. Rex
I have now officially seen everything, dinosaur-wise. Artist Mark Cline, who clearly has a soft spot for the Confederacy, has created a roadside attraction in Natural Bridge, Virginia that shows various dinosaurs helping the South win the Civil War. The pictures posted on this site include a T. Rex snagging an unfortunate cavalryman, a Triceratops butting down a tree (to the top of which clings a terrified Union soldier), and an Allosaurus being carted, cannon-style, by a horse-drawn wagon.
The back story behind this scene of carnage is a bit convoluted. According to Cline's narrative, the Union soldiers have discovered a valley of supposedly extinct dinosaurs, and try to use the beasts to quell the rebels. Dinosaurs being dinosaurs, they stomp, gore, and gobble their bluecoated masters, doing their small, Jurassic bit for Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee.

Are you sure this isn’t the Weird But True site?
That certainly clears up what happened at the last assault on Cold Harbor. Too bad for General Pickett he didn’t have a TRex or two at Gettysburg.
These folks must be in cahoots with the Creation Museum. Sure glad there aren’t enough of them to sway national elections, but it must be good for the dinosaur business, eh Bob?
Fiction! Like, duh, any team of horses would be pulling a cart with an Allosaurus in it!! Poor things would have a heart attack!
