Ulysses S. Grant equestrian memorial, Washington, D. C.

Gallagher: “And on Fitz’s point about how the Union memorial landscape is really kind of invisible for most people: I love to ask groups to whom I speak, “Where’s Grant’s memorial in Washington?” They say, “Oh no, it’s in New York.” I say, “I’m not talking about his tomb. Where is Grant’s monument in Washington?” Virtually no one knows. And it’s this huge equestrian statue looking right down the mall”(36).
