George Gordon Meade Equestrian Statue Gettysburg National Military Park, Pennsylvania #NC-10303-MM - Notecards Also available in Assortment Pack #AST-854 Open Edition Prints will be available early 2003 Dedicated June 5, 1896 Major-General George Gordon Meade assumed command of the Army of the Potomac just two days before the Battle of Gettysburg. His statue on Hancock Avenue is in the general vicinity of where he watched his Union troops repulse the Confederate charge. Meade’s statue faces that of his Confederate counterpart, General Robert E. Lee, situated less than a mile away. Meade held his post until the end of the war and commanded various military departments in the U.S. until his death in 1872. Sculptor Henry K. Bush-Brown devoted two years to researching and creating the bronze statue. In keeping with his commitment to historical accuracy, the sculptor portrayed Meade without a hat, as he appeared during the battle. Text © 2002 Terry White, Drawing © 2002 Bill Harrah
