Wanted A Man on Horseback Grant Monument Ride
A New York Grant Tomb project plans a half million dollar subscription to complete the plaza and erect an equestrian statue of Ulysses S. Grant. The hunt for a life mounted photograph of Grant to guide the sculptor spans major archives with no definitive image found. Biographers and curators note his famed horsemanship and several famous mounts, including Cincinnati, Egypt, and Jeff Davis, shaping the monument’s storied preparation.
