Grand Army Plaza is impressive stuff. This is the same Prospect Park where the classical music was performed, n'est pas?
I like the contrast between the pale stone and really well done bronze sculptures. And Thomas Eakins did the horses. I mean sculpted.
My great grandfather might be considered one of those "Protectors of the Union," having served in the Illinois 62nd regiment from the age of 17 in 1862.
tall gary -- your great-grandfather would definitely be considered one of those protectors of the Union. I had lots of ancestors who fought in the Civil War (half in blue and half in gray). And, yes, this is the same park.
