I have the book put out by the Society of the Army of the Tennessee for the Sherman Memorial. I’ll have to see if I can scare up a copy of the Grant book.

My wife is just ecstatic to say the least. Her loss. Any way, thanks for the great post. I really enjoy your blog!

‘Testament to Union’ is a great book. I picked it up after you mentioned it on the site last year.

Sherrill, U.S.A._, Washington: Govt Printing Office, 1924 which has lots of details about Shrady and his creation of the statue.
It is my absolute favorite among all the statuary in the DC area. Notice Cincinnati’s ears are cocked forward: he is listening to the battle.
