be wanting to continually refresh the remembrance of his deeds and to exhibit to coming generations of Americans his goodly presence and gallant bearing. His bust, presented by the comrades of Hancock Post, Department of New York, G. A. R., was, in 1893, placed in Hancock Square, New York city, General Horace Porter making the dedicatory address. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has testified her admiration for her own heroic son, and her gratitude for the great part he performed in delivering her from the grasp of the invader by providing for the erection on East Cemetery Hill, Gettysburg, of an equestrian statue. The work, by the sculptor Elwell, now being cast in bronze, is a noble presentation of the figure, face, and spirit of the impetuous and resolute commander. It will fitly crown the eminence upon which he appeared in the mid-afternoon of July 1, 1863, to stay the flight of our broken army and bring the inspiration of coming victory. While city and State have thus raised monuments to the departed chieftain, the nation has not been unmindful of his services. By acts of March 3, 1889, and March 31, 1891, Congress made an appropriation for an equestrian statue in Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington city, whither he came in September, 1861, to take his part in the great struggle; in front of which he organized the brigade he was to lead so gloriously to victory at Williamsburg; over the safety of which he watched during the dark days of Lincoln's assassination; in which he attended the inauguration of his competitor for the presidency; and where through many years his splendid presence became familiar to men of all sections of the country he had so loyally aided to save.
