Trip to Washington DC for the day. I hit as many of the monuments/memorials as I could in one day.
Cavalry Charge: Seven horsemen charging onto the battlefield. Critics regard it as one of the most dramatically exciting statues in the country, the horses and their mounts seemingly alive and in full gallop. One horse, however, has fallen and taken his rider down with him. Using a mirror, Shrady sculpted his own face as the rider's. Military posts staged cavalry drills so he could get the troop movements correct. Sadly, Shrady died two weeks before the dedication ceremony.
