Summary
| Description | Andrew Jackson, 1853, Sculptor: Clark Mills, Location: Lafayette Park - Pennsylvania Ave. & 16th:Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) is shown here as he appeared following the Battle of New Orleans (fought, unfortunately, two weeks after the treaty to end the War of 1812 was signed). The cannon surrounding the memorial are four rare Spanish cannons he captured in Pensacola. This is the first equestrian statue ever erected in the United States. It was cast less than a mile from its current location at the foundry of its sculptor, Clark Mills. Mills had never seen an equestrian statue before and practiced making many little wooden models in order ot get the balance just right. He was justifiably proud of his accomplishment. |
