Informations supplémentaires

Photograph by David Coleman. The Ulysses S. Grant Memorial stands as one of Washington DC's most impressive monuments, featuring a massive bronze equestrian statue of the Civil War general and former president. Located in Union Square at the western base of Capitol Hill, the memorial was designed by sculptor Henry Merwin Shrady and dedicated in 1922 after nearly two decades of construction. The central equestrian statue depicts Grant mounted on his horse, facing east toward the U.S. Capitol Building. At approximately 252 feet long and 71 feet wide, it ranks among the largest equestrian sculptures worldwide. The memorial complex also includes flanking sculpture groups representing cavalry and artillery units, though the central Grant figure remains the focal point. Ulysses S. Grant served as commanding general of the Union Army during the final years of the American Civil War from 1864 to 1865, leading the North to victory. He later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. The memorial's prominent location between the Capitol and the Washington Monument makes it a significant landmark along the National Mall, visited by thousands of tourists and locals annually who come to honor Grant's contributions to American history.
