- Rider(s):Hooker, Joseph
(1814–1879), a major general, served throughout the war, usually with distinction, and is best remembered for his stunning defeat of Confederate General Lee at the Battle of Chancellorsville. Hooker later planned an audacious campaign against Lee, but suddenly lacked the nerve to marshal the strength of his larger army. His poor performance prompted Abraham Lincoln to relieve him from command just prior to the Battle of Gettysburg.
- Sculptor(s):Potter and French
Edward Clark Potter (1857–1923) was an American sculptor. He created seven equestrian statues, some of these in cooperation with Daniel Chester French, who crafted the horses. From 1883 he was an assistant to French (1850–1931) and he studied in Paris from 1887 to 1889 with Emmanuel Frémiet.
