Pausch, Edward Ludwig Albert – Equestrian statues https://equestrianstatue.org by Kees van Tilburg Fri, 22 Jan 2021 15:48:53 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.11 Washington, George https://equestrianstatue.org/washington-george-14/ Wed, 25 Jan 2017 12:04:33 +0000 http://equestrianstatue.org/?p=17906 Washington rode to Pittsburgh on horseback as a young military officer in the French and Indian War. This trip did not go particularly well, as General Braddock’s army was soundly defeated. Washington nearly drowned himself in the Allegheny. This only granite equestrian statue of Washington was erected at the site of this defeat in 1755.
