Description
An account of the resource
The result of decades of planning and effort, the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/explorations/show/grant-memorial">Ulysses S. Grant Memorial</a> honors the Civil War general and US President. The massive memorial features three sections: a large statue of Grant on his horse, a separate sculpture entitled Artillery on Grant's left, and a third entitled Cavalry Charge on Grant's right. By design, the statue of Grant faces exactly west, toward the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/33">Lincoln Memorial</a>, so that these two memorials flank the National Mall.
