‘The Voice of our Fathers’ Blood’: American Revolution Monuments before the Civil War

As the founding epoch of the United States, the American Revolution is shrouded in memory and mythology. In addition to extensive portraiture and scenic artistry, sculptors dotted the U.S. with granite and bronze tributes to battlefield leaders, political masterminds, and world-changing principles.

Join Codie Eash as he explores how the American founding generation, and those who came shortly after, commemorated the Revolution through the nation’s first wave of monumentation, from the Declaration of Independence to the beginning of the Civil War.
