 SEAL. 
 
 The Seal of the National Society consists of the figure of a 
 minute-man standing by the side of a plough, all surrounded by 
 thirteen stars, the whole encircled by a band, upon which, in raised 
 letters, is the name of the national society, with the date of its 
 organization. 
 
 INSIGNIA. 
 
 The Badge — Obverse: A gold cross of four arms and eight 
 points, of the same size as the Chevalier's Cross of the French 
 Legion of Honor, with white enameled arms. In the center is a 
 gold medallion bust of George Washington in profile, surrounded 
 by a ribbon of blue enamel, on which is the motto of the Society 
 in gold letters, "Libertas et Patria." Between the medallion and 
 the points of the cross is a laurel wreath. Reverse: Like the ob- 
 verse; the medallion, however, has the figure of a minute-man, 
 surrounded by a ribbon of blue enamel, containing in gold letters 
 the words, "Sons of the American Revolution." The cross is sur- 
 rounded by an eagle in gold, suspended by a silk ribbon of blue, 
 white and buff. 
 
 The cross is a reproduction of the emblem of the French Order 
 of St. Louis, with certain changes, and was adopted to commemo- 
 rate the assistance given to the Colonies by Louis XVI, Grand 
 Master of that Order. The medallion, containing the head of 
 Washington and the figure of the minute-man, is fitly placed upon 
 a cross of such an origin and associations. 
 
 The Rosette. The rosette is a button in the shape of a raised 
 cup, of blue, white and buff ribbon. It is to be worn in the upper 
 left-hand button-hole of the coat. 
 
 The only badge now authorized by the national society is that 
 described above, superseding all forms previously used. The price 
 of the badge, or cross of St. Louis, adopted by this society, is nine 
 dollars. It may be obtained of Messrs. J. E. Caldwell & Co., Phil- 
 
8 ^on0 of tl)e American Hetjolution 
 
 adelphia, by permit issued by the Registrar-General, which will be 
 furnished by the state registrar. The rosette may be procured of 
 the state secretary for twenty cents. 
 
 THE OFFICIAL MARKER. 
 
 The identification and marking of the graves of Revolution- 
 ary soldiers and sailors has for some time engaged the atten- 
 tion of the Sons of the American Revolution, but nothing has 
 been done by the society in Indiana. More than five thousand 
 markers have been made and used throughout this and other states, 
 and even in our distant possessions and foreign lands. The cross 
 is of bronze. It is securely fastened to a brass rod ; and this, with 
 the cross, makes its entire length about thirty-eight inches. At the 
 lower end the rod may be set into a granite block, or a metal plate, 
 which is to be buried eighteen inches below the surface of the 
 ground. This anchor will render the marker, when once adjusted, 
 almost immovable ; and, with the bronze and brass of which it is 
 composed, the whole will last for many years. The National Con- 
 gress, at its session in 1894, adopted the design for its official 
 marker, and recommended its use by all the state societies. 
 
 INFORMATION. 
 
 Membership in this Society is strictly limited by the National 
 and State constitutions to such persons as can prove their descent 
 from well-authenticated patriot Revolutionary ancestry. Collateral 
 relationship has at no time been allowed in this body by prescribed 
 regulations or otherwise. Appropriate papers and all needed in- 
 formation for making application for admission will be furnished 
 by the secretary of the state society. 
 
 Application for Membership must be made in duplicate; 
 must be signed by the applicant on the second and fourth pages ; 
 must be sworn to before a justice or a notary; and returned to 
 the registrar with check for five dollars, — which includes the ad- 
 mission^ fee and the first year's assessment. Biographical data 
 should be given as fully as possible, and reference to authorities 
 quoted. Care should be taken that all these requirements be car- 
 ried out, as imperfectly prepared papers can not be accepted. 
 
 The Secretary of State of most of the states will make a search 
 
iSmtral ^Information 9 
 
 of the rolls and archives, and furnish an official certificate for a 
 small sum. The Commissioner of Pensions at Washington will 
 furnish a certificate, gratis, if the ancestor was a pensioner. In 
 some of the states the state librarian will make search for revolu- 
 tionary records and furnish the desired information for a small 
 fee. 
 
 The Certificate of Membership issued by the National So- 
 ciety, handsomely engraved, and of size suitable for framing, will 
 be furnished for the sum of one dollar and fifty cents in advance. 
 Application should be made to the state registrar.

Cl^e i^ational ^ociett 
 
 The Sons of the American Revokition is composed of lineal 
 descendants of those American colonists and of their French 
 allies who took part in the American struggle for independence. 
 The aim of the society is to keep alive the spirit of the revolu- 
 tionary fathers by encouraging historical research, preserving 
 records, documents, and relics of the American Revolution, ob- 
 serving patriotic anniversaries and promoting civic righteousness. 
 
 The society is organized in the several States and abroad and 
 the members of the several branches are united in what is known 
 as the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, 
 which bears a relation to the branches similar to that which the 
 federal government sustains toward the states. 
 
 The origin of the order is in the California society, originally 
 called the Sons of Revolutionary Sires, which came into exist- 
 ence at San Francisco on October 22, 1875. In 1889 similar 
 branches were established in many States, until now the society 
 maintains a prosperous existence in thirty-nine States and Terri- 
 tories and in France and Hawaii. 
 
 Among the achievements of the society have been the follow- 
 ing: 
 
 A law requiring the indexing and preserving of the Revolu- 
 tionary service records in the Smithsonian Institution. 
 
 A law permitting army and naval officers to wear the badge 
 on ceremonial occasions. 
 
 The establishment of Flag Day, June 14. 
 
 Forbidding the display of foreign flags on public buildings, ex- 
 cept in honor of foreign guests. 
 
 Marking the graves of Revolutionary soldiers in many parts 
 of the country. 
 
 Rescuing many historic buildings from destruction, and many 
 priceless archives and records from oblivion. 
 
 Erecting many monuments. 
 
 Its membership of over eighteen thousand includes the names 
 
18 ^ons of ttie American Kefaolution 
 
 of many men of distinction, among whom may be mentioned 
 William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Nelson A. Miles, George 
 Dewey, David J. Brewer, Horace Porter, Stewart L. Woodford, 
 Levi P. Morton, John W. Daniel, Marcus A. Hanna, Henry 
 Cabot Lodge, Orville H. Piatt, Redfield Proctor, Simon B. Buck- 
 ner, Frederick Dent Grant, Adolphus W. Greeley, Charles King,

 of the Sons of the American Revolution," and shall thereafter 
 have exclusive local jurisdiction in the State or Territory or in the 
 District in which they are organized, subject to the provisions of 
 this Constitution, but this provision shall not be construed so as

 Sec. 3. Each State Society shall judge of the qualifications of 
 its members and of those proposed for membership, subject to the 
 provisions of this Constitution, and shall regulate all matters per- 
 taining to its own affairs. It shall have authority to establish lo-

 it shall be held to include within its meaning the District of Co- 
 lumbia and the Territories of the United States.

 said Board. 
 
 Sec. 3. The Board of Trustees shall have charge of, and be 
 charged with the care and custody of all property belonging to 
 the National Society, and to that end shall be vested with the 
 powers conferred by section 3 of the Act of Incorporation of the 
 National Society: Provided, however, That it shall not have the

COLONEL SAMUEL MERRILL 
 
 Long Beach, California 
 
 President 1890 
 
Ci^e gntiiana ^ociet^ 
 
 A preliminary meeting for the organization of the society in 
 Indiana was held on April 23, 1889, in the Indiana State House. 
 William H. English presided and David E. Snyder was secre- 
 tary. William H. English and Charles W. Merrill were appointed 
 delegates to attend the organization of the National Society in 
 New York City, April 30, 1889. On January 15, a meeting was 
 held at the office of Charles F. Griffin, Secretary of State of In- 
 diana, for permanent organization. Colonel Samuel Merrill 
 moved that those present organize, and upon motion of Will E. 
 English the proposed constitution and by-laws were adopted 
 with amendments. The society was organized on January 15, 
 1890, and at that time chose as the date of its annual meeting the 
 25th of February, the anniversary of the capture of Fort Sackville, 
 at Vincennes, Indiana, in 1779. 
 
 The first President elected was Colonel Samuel Merrill, of 
 Indianapolis, and William E. English was recommended to the 
 National Board of Managers as the Indiana member of that 
 board. 
 
 March 15, 1890, Colonel Samuel Merrill resigned to become 
 Consul General at Calcutta, and the vice-president, William E. 
 English, was elected to fill the vacancy. 
 
 The Indiana society was fortunate in enrolling as its first mem- 
 ber the late William H. English. Mr. English was the democratic 
 nominee for Vice-President of the United States with General 
 Winfield Scott Hancock. 
 
 Among its members still living is Wellington Alexander Clark, 
 Esq., of Crown Point, whose father was a soldier in the Ameri- 
 can Revolution. 
 
 The society has placed portraits of Revolutionary heroes in a 
 number of the public institutions of the state, and in some of the 
 local public educational institutions. As will appear from the 
 memorial at page 141, it gave the initial impetus toward the adop- 
 tion of the present plan of subsidiary monuments surrounding 
 the base of the Indiana State Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument at 
 Indianapolis.

 RESOLUTIONS 
 
 OF : 
 
 THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC 
 
 AND ADDRESS OF 
 
 HON. WM. H. ENGLISH 
 
 IN RELATION TO 
 
 THE ORNAMENTATION OF THE INDIANA "STATE SOLDIERS 
 AND SAILORS' MONUMENT." 
 
 "It zi'-ill go dozi'n the ages, grozving in favor as the irresistible 
 years szveep by, and all zdio are nozv living have returned to 
 dust." 
 
 To THE General Assembly of the State of Indiana: 
 
 The undersigned respectfully represent to your honorable body 
 that at the last annual meeting of the Indiana Society of the Sons 
 of the American Revolution the subject of the ornamentation of 
 the Indiana State Soldiers' Monument and grounds was consid- 
 ered, and the sentiments and recommendations of an address 
 then delivered by the Hon. William H. English were, by resolu- 
 tion, unanimously approved, and the officers of the society di- 
 rected to present the matter to the Legislature for its favorable 
 consideration, which we now most respectfully and earnestly do. 
 Subsequently to this action of the society, the Grand Army of 
 the Republic, at its annual meeting held at Fort Wayne, April 
 6 and 7, 1892, adopted unanimously resolutions approving the 
 suggestion made in said address, that the four most prominent 
 epochs in Indiana military history be commemorated by a statue 
 of the principal representative man of each of said epochs, viz. : 
 
142 ^onsi of tlje American Mebolution 
 
 1. George Rogers Clark, for the capture of Vincennes and 
 the War of the Revolution. 
 
 2. William Henry Harrison, for Tippecanoe and the other 
 Indiana events of the Indian wars and the war of 1812. 
 
 3. Oliver Perry Morton (whose statue is already made), for 
 the great Civil War. 
 
 4. Some one as a representative of Indiana in the Mexican 
 War, to be named by the Legislature or the Monument Commis- 
 sioners. 
 
 These resolutions will be found on pages 174-5 of the Journal 
 of the Grand Army of the Republic's thirteenth annual session, 
 and a copy of the same, together with the address referred to, 
 are submitted herewith for the favorable action of the Legisla- 
 ture.

 RESOLUTIONS OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE 
 REPUBLIC. 
 
 The Committee on Resolutions recommended the adoption of 
 the following, which was presented by Comrade B. F. Havens, 
 of Post No. I : 
 
 Resolved, That the suggestion made in a recent address by 
 Hon. Wm. H. English, before the Indiana Society of the Sons 
 of the American Revolution, that the Soldiers' Monument now 
 being erected at Indianapolis, should, as far as practical, illus- 
 trate the four great military epochs in Indiana history, seems to 
 be fair and reasonable ; and. 
 
 Resolved further, That we approve the suggestion that these 
 four epochs be illustrated and commemorated by the following 
 
0olDiers anu ^ailor0' sponummt 143 
 
 statues of representative men, to be constructed in bronze in 
 harmony with the general plan of the monument, and under the 
 direction of the Monument Commissioners, namely : 
 
 1. George Rogers Clark, for the capture of Vincennes and 
 the War of the Revolution. 
 
 2. William Henry Harrison, for Tippecanoe and the other 
 Indiana events of the Indian wars and war of 1812. 
 
 3. Oliver Perry Morton, for the great Civil War. 
 
 4. Some one as a representative of "Indiana in the Mexican 
 War," to be named by the Legislature or the Monument Com- 
 missioners. 
 
 Resolved further. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded 
 to the Monument Commissioners and to each branch of the next 
 Legislature. 
 
 The Department Commander: Without objection, the recom- 
 mendation of the committee will stand as the sense of this En- 
 campment. 
 
 It was so ordered. 
 
 (From the Indianapolis News, February 26, i8p2.) 
 
 Twenty members of the Indiana Society of the Sons of the 
 American Revolution sat down to a dinner at the Denison House 
 last night. Hon. William E. Niblack presided. Among those 
 present were the officers of the society, including Will E. Eng- 
 lish, Rev. C. H. McDowell, David E. Snyder and Charles W. 
 Moores, and in addition Dr. L. L. Todd, Cephas B. Huston, Dun- 
 can T. Bacon, Moses G. McLain, Edwin D. Bryant and John J. 
 Curtis. 
 
 One immediate son of a Revolutionary soldier, Samuel C. Mere- 
 dith, of this city, was present. The Society has on its rolls the 
 names of three other actual sons. Nelson Prentiss, of Albion ; Eli- 
 jah Newland, of New Albany, and John Dunning, of Valparaiso. 
 
 Merrill Moores spoke on "The Significance of the Flag," his 
 remarks being full of the spirit of State pride. "Were the Men 
 of '76 Aristocrats?" was the theme of a felicitous speech by Rev. 
 A. Hunter Anthony, of Spencer. Dr. George McConnell, of

 ADDRESS OF WILLIAM H. ENGLISH 
 
 The object of this society is not alone to cherish the memories 
 of honored ancestors, who periled their lives for the independence 
 and union of these States, but it extends, alike, to all who have 
 fought in its defense or for its preservation. 
 
 Its purpose is to foster a love of our country, and respect and 
 admiration for the men of all wars, who have stood in its de- 
 fense in time of danger. 
 
 It was in this broad, patriotic spirit, no doubt, that Indiana was 
 inspired to cause to be erected, in the center of her Capital City, a 
 great monument that should stand for ages as a testimonial in 
 honor of the soldiers and sailors connected with her history. 
 
 It was an undertaking worthy of any people, and especially 
 noticeable and commendable in a young community, organized as 
 a territory only ninety-two years ago, and existing as a State 
 but a few months over seventy-five years. It was the dawning 
 of a new era with a people but recently emerged from the hard- 
 ships and privations of pioneer life. It was a bold, forward 
 movement into the light of the grand and beautiful, of the most 
 cultured and advanced civilization of the world. 
 
 It was all the more encouraging because it was an indication 
 of an awakening of State pride, where, before, it is to be feared, 
 there was a sad deficiency. 
 
 If this monument is completed, in the style it should be, with 
 grounds, streets and approaches improved to harmonize with it, 
 as they should be, we shall have here a great Indiana work of 
 art, as an exponent of her military history, which may truly be 
 regarded as a "thing of beauty and a joy forever." 
 
 It will go down the ages, growing in favor as the irresistible 
 years sweep by, and all who are now living have returned to dust. 
 
 It will not only tend to inspire the present and future gen- 
 erations of Indianians with patriotism and State pride, but it will 
 in time be visited and admired by a multitude of strangers, thus 
 causing the State to be more favorably and generally known in 
 other countries. 
 
 But the monument is not yet completed. In fact, a great deal 
 remains to be done to make it what it should be. The stone 
 shaft alone is nearing completion. It is grand and beautiful, and, 
 
^olDierg anD ^ailorg' sponument 145 
 
 1 presume, faultless in construction. But, grand and beautiful 
 as it is, it would not alone make a distinctive Indiana monument, 
 such as this should be. It would answer just as well for a 
 Maine or California monument if set down in either of those 
 States. For that matter, it would do just as well for a foreign 
 country, if placed there. 
 
 The important thing, then, to consider is the work which yet 
 remains to be done. 
 
 We must look to the bronze groups, the statuary and other 
 ornamentations, yet to be added, for any local identity, or special 
 illustrations of Indiana military history. It is here we shall find 
 deficiencies or the crowning glory of this great work. 
 
 And, oh, what a sad misfortune it would be to have mistakes 
 made at this vital point ! 
 
 Let us examine what the commissioners are proposing to do 
 in this regard, and what they outline the monument is to be 
 when completed. 
 
 I will give it, in their own words, as I find it in a recent pub- 
 lication, signed by the president and secretary. Here it is : 
 
 "The monument is built of Indiana oolitic limestone and stands 
 on a circular plat of ground, slightly elevated in the center, 333 
 feet 3 inches in diameter, with a street 80 feet in width sur- 
 rounding it, beyond which, and fronting toward the park, are 
 business houses and dwellings. Its total height, including the 
 crowning figure, is 280 feet. It is surrounded at the base by a 
 terrace no feet in diameter, the floor being 10 feet 8 inches above 
 the earth. The pedestal is 52 feet in diameter at the terrace floor 
 and recedes, ascending, until at the line beneath its cornice, 54 
 feet 8 inches above the terrace floor, it measures 34 feet 6 inches. 
 The diameter of the cornice of the pedestal is 39 feet 6 inches. 
 Thence the pedestal recedes abruptly to the shaft, 25 feet in diam- 
 eter. At a height of 90 feet 6 inches above the earth, the diam- 
 eter of the shaft is 19 feet, whence it gradually diminishes to 
 12 feet 6 inches at the line beneath the capital, which is 13 feet 
 
 2 inches in diameter, and is supported by eight eagles carved in 
 stone. A balustrade of stone extends four feet above the floor 
 of the capital, and on this floor stands an iron turret 8 feet 
 in diameter, covered with copper. On this a bronze globe, of 
 the same diameter, will be placed, above which will rise the 
 
146 g>on0 of t\)t American Hebolwtton 
 
 crowning figure of bronze, emblematic of victory, freedom, and 
 civilization. The statue is 22 feet in height, from the sole of 
 the feet to the crown of the head, and it is eight feet farther to the 
 top of the torch, held in the extended left hand, a sword with 
 the point turned down being in the right. 
 
 "Ten feet and six inches beneath the lower hne of the capital 
 is astragal No. i, representing on the four sides of the shaft the 
 years of the Mexican and Civil wars, being the heroic periods of 
 the State of Indiana. This astragal, made of bronze, like Nos. 
 2 and 3, described below, is 6 feet in width and 13 feet 6 inches 
 in length upon each face of the shaft. On opposite faces are 
 legends, '1846-1848,' '1861-1865,' the figures being two feet high, 
 
 "Astragal No. 2 is 80 feet below No. i, and represents the navy 
 at the period of the Civil War. Its dimensions are : Width, 10 
 feet; length on each face of the shaft, 18 feet 10)^ inches, with 
 projections at each of the four corners, making special illustra- 
 tions of the navy by the prow of an American war vessel. These 
 projections measure about 7 feet from the shaft to the bows of 
 the vessels, and the bowsprits extend some 3 feet further. 
 
 "Astragal No. 3, 12 feet 6 inches below No. 2, is to be at the 
 base of the shaft at its union with the pedestal, and is to rep- 
 resent the Army. Dimensions: Width, 11 feet 8 inches; length 
 on each face of the shaft, 25 feet. At the lower line of this 
 astragal there is a projection of stone of 3 feet 4 inches, uniting 
 the shaft with the top of the pedestal which surrounds it below. 
 
 "On the east and west faces of the pedestal, upon sub-pedestals, 
 are to be the great bronze groups of 'War' and 'Peace,' in which 
 the decorations of the monument will culminate." 
 
 The commissioners, you see, begin to describe the proposed 
 ornamentation with the immense bronze female figure, twenty- 
 two feet high, which is to crown the monument. She is to have 
 a sword in one hand, and hold aloft an immense torch in the 
 other. She is to stand upon a big globe, and that is to rest upon 
 a copper-cased turret, eight feet square, secured to the top of the 
 stone shaft ; and the commissioners tell us she is to be "emblem- 
 atic of victory, freedom, and civilization." 
 
 Mr. Bruno Schmitz's original design, as I saw it, faced this 
 figure tO' the east with two immense wings disfiguring her back 
 on the west. But the commissioners and other State dignitaries. 
 
^olDiew anU jailors' sponument 147 
 
 as you know, are located in the State House on the west ; so, in- 
 stead of feasting their eyes on the symmetrical form of her lady- 
 ship they could only see her frightful wings. The commissioners 
 wisely ordered them taken off, and that she should be clothed in 
 suitable drapery. 
 
 Now as they have done so much to improve her ladyship, and 
 have given her such an elevated position in the world, it would 
 seem in bad taste for her to turn her back toward her benefactors. 
 Besides, she should remember that this is the West, and that for 
 many generations the star of empire and progress has been 
 marching in that direction. 
 
 Upon the whole, I am inclined to think that this crowning fig- 
 ure, as improved by the commissioners, will prove appropriate 
 to the monument and satisfactory as a work of art. 
 
 I pass down to astragal No. i — a ring or band passing around 
 the monument, illustrated in bronze. With this, I am glad to 
 say, I am not only satisfied but gratified. It expresses something 
 and it means something. It commemorates two important epochs 
 in Indiana military history — the war with Mexico and the great 
 Civil war. It is eminently proper, and there is no honorable 
 mention that could be made of Indiana in connection with either 
 of these wars that would not meet with my cordial approbation. 
 
 They were both exceedingly important in their results. The 
 first secured to the United States a vast extent of desirable ter- 
 ritory, and an outlet to the Pacific Ocean of inestimable value. 
 The last saved the union of the States, originally secured by the 
 blood of our Revolutionary fathers — a Union indispensable to 
 the happiness of the people and the security, prosperity, and glory 
 of the nation. 
 
 Astragal No. 2 is the next as we descend. It is a collection 
 of huge warships and other things pertaining to a navy, which 
 the commissioners' publication says "represents the navy at the 
 period of the Civil war." 
 
 This probably rneans only that ships of that period were taken 
 for models. Indiana has had regiments, armies, block-houses and 
 forts, but (being inland) she has had no navy or warships, and 
 her sailors have not been very numerous. They have, however, 
 made up in quality what they lacked in quantity. She has some 
 splendid officers in the navy now — Brown, Howison and others 
 
148 ^ons; of tl)e American Mrbolution 
 
 — had them during the Civil war and at other periods, and then 
 since the war she has had a first-rate secretary of the navy — 
 Colonel Richard W. Thompson. 
 
 The navy of the United States has long been celebrated, if we 
 may judge from the number of Indiana counties named after 
 naval heroes. Perry's cannon thundered on our northern bor- 
 ders and won a great victory, which he announced to an Indiana 
 governor in the never-to-be-forgotten words : "To General Har- 
 rison : Dear General — We have met the enemy and they are 
 ours — two ships, two brigs, one schooner and a sloop. Oliver 
 Hazard Perry." A message which sent a thrill of joy into every 
 American heart throughout the land. 
 
 I happen to- remember that James Blair, eleven times a dis- 
 tinguished member of the Indiana Legislature, was with Perry 
 in that battle, and named Perrysville, in Vermillion county, after 
 him. There were, no doubt, many gallant sailors, like Blair, who 
 served in the United States navy, and so I say, by all means let 
 us honor the gallant sailors, even if they have not been numerous 
 in Indiana. 
 
 The next group as we descend is No. 3, which the commission- 
 ers say "represents the army." It is emblematical of the army at 
 all times, beautiful, expressive, and, as far as I know, every way 
 satisfactory. 
 
 Next come the great bronze groups of "War" and "Peace." 
 These stand at the foot — one fronting east, the other west. 
 
 That ends the decorations as now planned and as I have just 
 shown them. The commissioners distinctly say that the decora- 
 tions of the monument will culminate with the groups of "War" 
 and "Peace." And now that I have examined all, and know just 
 what the monument is to be as now planned, what do I think 
 of it? 
 
 I have already given a favorable opinion of the stone shaft. 
 
 The great bronze figure at the top, the four groups of bronze 
 statuary, representing the Army, the Navy, War, and Peace, are 
 all in the line of a military monument. The figures in these 
 groups will, no doubt, be colossal, instructive and exceedingly 
 beautiful as works of art. As emblematic of armies, navies, war, 
 and peace in general, they will, I doubt not, prove a magnificent 
 success. I don't know that any of them could now be dispensed 
 
fe>olDifr0 anD jailors' sponument 149 
 
 with, and I am not now prepared to say that any of them ought 
 to be. But I do say that they are so general in character as to 
 suit one country about as well as another, and that no foreign 
 artist, or any other artist, ought to be allowed to make these so 
 expensive as to keep out Indiana matters which should be repre- 
 sented. Mr. Bruno Schmitz, a worthy Prussian gentleman, is 
 the architect and designer-in-chief of the monument. Mr. Schmitz 
 is, no doubt, a great artist, but I am afraid he knows more of 
 Bliicher and Frederick the Great than he does of Clark and Har- 
 rison — more of the Rhine and the Oder than he does of the 
 Tippecanoe and the Wabash. I am afraid he cares more for 
 military art, in general, than he does for art that would be spe- 
 cially commemorative of great Indiana events. 
 
 The commissioners are to be commended for saying, as they 
 have in one place, that they want this to be an American monu- 
 ment. It should be more. It should be an Indiana monument, 
 commemorating the great military events connected with her 
 history. If it does not do this, a fearful mistake will have been 
 made. It will not do it if nothing else is done but to finish it as 
 it is now planned. Nothing of that kind will be specially commem- 
 orated but the Mexican and Civil wars. I submit to you that it 
 would be unjust, and a grave mistake, to send Indiana down to 
 posterity, so far as her great military monument can do it, as hav- 
 ing no military history worth remembering, except as connected 
 with the Mexican and Civil wars. 
 
 Indiana is not barren of great military events before that period, 
 and of at least two her people are justly proud. 
 
 It is not at all likely they expected these events would be ignored 
 in the construction of this monument — that it would commemo- 
 rate no event prior to 1846. They did not expect it would cover 
 a few years only, or from the State organization only, but from 
 the beginning of Indiana history, just as any historian would have 
 to do to give a satisfactory account. 
 
 They remember that in the darkest period of the war of the 
 Revolution one of the most important and far-reaching events of 
 that war took place within the present boundaries of Indiana. 
 
 It was then a part of the British dominions, but by the brave 
 and adroit management of George Rogers Clark and his little 
 army, it was taken from them by the capture of Fort Sackville, 
 
150 ^ong of tlie American Hetolution 
 
 at Vincennes. The formal surrender took place February 25, 1779 
 — 113 years ago this day. 
 
 The British flag was taken down the night of the 24th, and at 
 ten o'clock the next morning the American flag was run up. 
 Never, from that glorious hour, thank God! has that flag been 
 lowered to an enemy on Indiana soil. 
 
 Can it be possible that such an event as this is to be entirely 
 ignored in the construction of a monument intended to honor and 
 perpetuate Indiana military history? Why, the very ground on 
 which this monument stands was acquired by reason of that great 
 event. The land given Clark and his brave soldiers as some recom- 
 pense for their great services is Indiana land, situated in Clark, 
 Floyd and Scott counties, and Clark himself was long a citizen of 
 Indiana, residing in Clarksville, Clark county, as I have positive 
 evidence to show. He built a house and erected mills there, and 
 was an active participant in county affairs. I have the original 
 poll-book of an election held in that county in the first decade of 
 Indiana Territory, when the voting was done by word of mouth. 
 The election referred to was one which had an important bearing 
 in shaping Indiana affairs, and the poll-book, of course, shows how 
 Clark voted. I shall not produce it now or explain further here, 
 but hope to give to the public before the close of the present year, 
 not only that but much other original matter relating to Clark and 
 his great campaign which has never yet been published. 
 
 My only object now is to point out that Clark, at one time, was 
 a citizen of Indiana. That his great campaign is one of the most 
 important and well-known military events in her history and 
 should not be entirely ignored in the construction of this monu- 
 ment. That it was a campaign of vast importance is not my judg- 
 ment alone. So far as I know, it is the judgment of all who have 
 written upon the subject. As the wonderful development of the 
 great Northwest which he enabled this country to acquire becomes 
 more manifest it will be still more appreciated. 
 
 John B. Dillon, the father of Indiana history, says of Clark's 
 campaign that "with respect to the magnitude of its design, the 
 valor and perseverance with which it was carried on, and the 
 momentous results which were produced by it, the expedition 
 stands without a parallel in the early annals of the Mississippi." 
 
 Jacob P. Dunn, the author of one of the latest and best histories 
 
^oiniet& auD jailors' sponummt 15 1 
 
 of Indiana, speaks of it as "a most memorable campaign, by which 
 the Northwest was brought into the possession of Americans, and 
 secured to the Union, in the conduct of which General Clark had 
 fairly earned the title of 'the Hannibal of the West,' and which 
 was afterwards bestowed upon him by that eccentric genius, John 
 Randolph, of Roanoke." 
 
 John Law, an eminent Indiana jurist, statesman and historian, 
 in his colonial history of Vincennes, says : "It was a conquest 
 made under the most adverse and trying circumstances, and with 
 a skill and bravery not surpassed in the most glorious triumphs 
 of the Revolution. The reader need not be informed that I refer 
 to the conquest of 'Post Vincennes,' and the capture of Hamilton 
 and his troops, on the memorable 24th of February, 1779, by Gen- 
 eral George Rogers Clark. To him, in my opinion, considering 
 the results of that conquest, the vast addition of territory acquired 
 by it, and the incalculable advantages to the people who now oc- 
 cupy it, and to the country at large, the United States are more 
 indebted than to any other general of the Revolution — Washing- 
 ton alone excepted." 
 
 I could enlarge this with numerous similar quotations from the 
 most eminent historians in the United States. 
 
 But I pass on to another great historical epoch intimately con- 
 nected with Indiana's history, viz.: the wars of 181 1 and 1812, 
 with the Indians and the British. William Henry Harrison, the 
 then Governor of Indiana, was the hero in both. He was a man 
 brave and honorable himself, and he was blessed, not only with 
 an honorable ancestry, but with a posterity that can justly be re- 
 garded with equal pride. In his youth he was an officer over what 
 is now Indiana, when it was yet a part of the Territory of the 
 Northwest. He was in at the birth of Indiana Territory, and for 
 over a decade lived on her soil as her Governor, battling for her 
 interests. Not always on the side of questions now popular, and 
 subjected to the usual amount of abuse visited upon those hold- 
 ing, or aspiring to hold, high political positions, he was, neverthe- 
 less, a great and good man, and deserves to be gratefully remem- 
 bered. Especially is this true in Indiana, where he was the suc- 
 cessor, in military renown, of the immortal Clark, and where, as 
 in the case of Clark, he led a campaign to victory on Indiana soil — 
 a victory which thrilled the Nation, and should never be forgotten 
 
152 ^onsf of t\)t American Keijolution 
 
 by Indiana people. Tippecanoe was, in every respect, an Indiana 
 battle, fought upon her soil, by Indiana Indians on one side, and 
 by an American army on the other, over two-thirds of whom were 
 Indiana militia. I can not call to mind any battle between whites 
 and Indians more far-reaching and beneficial to the white race 
 than this, where Warrick, Spencer, White, McMahon, Berry, 
 Randolph, and other brave Indianians fell, never again to rise. 
 Their dust is now mingling with Indiana soil. Harrison, their 
 great commander, after reaching the highest honors known to 
 men, "sleeps well," just over the border, on the "beautiful river" — 
 whilst, lower down the same historic stream, Clark, his great 
 predecessor in military glory, is "sleeping his last sleep" in sight 
 of the land he conquered. Again, I ask, can it be possible that 
 this world-renowned Indiana battle, and all these thrilling inci- 
 dents, which will ever quicken the pulse-beat of every true son 
 and daughter of the State, is to find no recognition, no mention, 
 in the construction of this monument ? 
 
 Do you think there should be no recognition of the capture of 
 Vincennes, and the Battle of Tippecanoe? Is there a fair man or 
 woman in the State who thinks they ought to be ignored ? I should 
 be sorry to think there is one. I speak for the brave and patriotic 
 dead. I ask that Clark's capture of Vincennes, and Harrison's 
 battle of Tippecanoe, shall be recognized and commemorated in 
 some suitable way in connection with the erection of this great 
 Indiana monument. There were striking situations in both that 
 could have been made thrillingly interesting in the hands of com- 
 petent sculptors, and would have made appropriate and expressive 
 adornments ; but in view of the large groups, of a general char- 
 acter, already ordered, I do not know that anything in that direc- 
 tion could now be done. Some suitable inscriptions, however, or 
 other proper recognition in appropriate places on the face of the 
 monument could yet be made at comparatively little cost. Of 
 course it should be done. 
 
 There is also another thing that can yet be done that I think is 
 of the greatest possible importance, and to which I now respect- 
 fully solicit your earnest attention. In my opinion, it would prove 
 to be a most expressive, popular and realistic illustration of the 
 four greatest epochs in the military history of Indiana. These I 
 consider to be the capture of Vincennes, the battle of Tippecanoe, 
 
^olnitta anD jailors' ^^onumcnt 153 
 
 the jMexican war, the Civil war. I would commemorate each of 
 these great epochs by a bronze statue of the principal actor in 
 each. I would place these statues a suitable distance from the shaft 
 of the monument, low enough down to be plainly seen — one on 
 each side of the shaft, facing out east, west, north and south. 
 
 I think space sufficient could be found on the lower superstruc- 
 ture, already there, for the statues to stand on, and even if some 
 of the ideal figures I have seen on the plans were abandoned to 
 make room, it would be a good change. For that matter suitable 
 pedestals can be erected for the statues near the rim of the Circle, 
 on the line of the center of each of the four approaching streets. 
 The monument substantially covers the whole of Circle Park, 
 and these changes and additions would be in perfect harmony 
 with the main shaft, and prove to be the monument's crowning 
 glory. 
 
 The cost of these additions would not, probably, be over half 
 the cost of the groups of Peace and War. George Rogers Clark 
 and William Henry Harrison should be two of these representa- 
 tive men. I am told there would be trouble determining who 
 should be the representative man for the epoch of the Civil war. 
 I don't think so. Indiana's great military war governor, Oliver P. 
 Morton, should be the man. No doubt about that at all. Morton's 
 statue is already made, and a better could not be made. It is of 
 proper size, a good likeness, and every way creditable. Let it be 
 properly mounted under the shadow of the shaft of Indiana's great 
 military monument and there let it stand for ages in his honor, 
 and as emblematic of the great war in which he bore so con- 
 spicuous a part. 
 
 And let Clark and Harrison, and whoever is the representative 
 of the Mexican war, stand in the same way as emblematic of the 
 great military events with which they were connected. 
 
 I know no politics in such matters as these, but the logic of the 
 situation, after selecting the three, as I have indicated, would seem 
 to require that the fourth should be a Democrat. I consider Gen. 
 Joseph Lane a proper representative of Indiana in the Mexican 
 war. He was the only Indiana general in that war, and a braver 
 man never walked the earth. He was an Indiana pioneer, sprung 
 from the common people, and raised himself by merit to many 
 
154 ^01X0 of ttje ^mencan l^ebolution 
 
 high positions. He finally left Indiana and became Governor of 
 Oregon and a Senator of the United States. 
 
 If his removal from the State, or anything, should make the 
 selection of some one else preferable, the commissioners will not 
 have far to go to find glorious old Gen. Mahlon D. Manson, the 
 hero of two wars, who, to my certain knowledge, has not been out 
 of the State for any considerable time for over forty years, except 
 to serve his country ; or they can go to Washington county, where 
 they will find Major James A. Cravens, a "Cincinnatus," living 
 quietly on his farm, who is a native of the State ; or they can take 
 James Whitcomb, who was Indiana's war governor in that war. 
 
 I could name other Mexican-war Democrats, to use a current 
 phrase, "qualified for the position." I do not name Gen. Lew 
 Wallace, and possibly other Republicans, only because of the po- 
 litical necessities before stated. Besides the General has already 
 made himself an imperishable monument in another direction. 
 
 There is nothing at all difficult in selecting the four representa- 
 tive men. 
 
 When done, and the statues in place, it will be an Indiana monu- 
 ment, as well as a great work of art. It will be brought nearer 
 home to the comprehension and hearts of all our people, and at 
 the same time will be in harmony with the general design. It will 
 not only better commemorate the Mexican and Civil wars than 
 now proposed, but will include the capture of Vincennes and the 
 battle of Tippecanoe, which otherwise will not be commemorated 
 at all. It will be the only special recognition of Indiana men that 
 can be found on, or connected with, the monument anywhere, as 
 far as I know. As it is now, I think, you may go from the big 
 woman at the top to its base, and you will not find Clark, or Harri- 
 son, or Morton, or Lane or any other military hero connected with 
 great events in Indiana history, nor will you find them mentioned. 
 
 I do not think this is as it should be. I have come to this con- 
 clusion after an honest and earnest examination into all the facts. 
 I censure no one. If mistakes have been made, I count them only 
 errors of judgment, and there is still time to apply a remedy. 
 
 The~ obj ect of this address has been to point out what I think 
 is now the best and most available remedy. I have tried to do this, 
 not in a spirit of fault-finding, but as an earnest appeal to reason, 
 patriotism and justice. I am a native of Indiana, anxious to pro- 
 
^oitiitvs antJ jailors' a^onument 155 
 
 inote lier honor and glory. I believe this monument, finished as 
 I have indicated, would be a step in that direction, but that to finish 
 it as now planned would leave it far short of what it should be. 
 It is to prevent the latter, if possible, that I have spoken, and I 
 have spoken for those who can not now speak for themselves. I 
 have spoken for Clark, for Harrison, and for all the heroic dead 
 of their commands. I hope I have not spoken entirely in vain. 
 But whether I have or not, I shall at least have the consciousness 
 of having discharged my duty. 
 
 The society acted at once upon Mr. English's vigorous plea for 
 a recognition of all the heroes of Indiana. A committee was ap- 
 pointed, with Mr. English as chairman, to memorialize the legis- 
 lature in regard to a fuller expression through the monument of 
 the patriotism and valor of the earlier but not less earnest and 
 admirable soldiers and sailors whose names are connected with 
 Indiana history. 
 
 The following is copied from the recorded minutes of the pro- 
 ceedings of the society upon the occasion referred to, viz. : 
 
 "At a meeting of the Indiana Society of the Sons of the Amer- 
 ican Revolution held at the Denison Hotel, on February 25, 1892, 
 an address was delivered as a part of the program of the meeting 
 by the Hon. William H. English upon Indiana's military history 
 and the Soldier's Monument. Mr. English's address made certain 
 recommendations in reference to the completion of the Soldier's 
 Monument to the end that the memorial should be made charac- 
 teristic of Indiana's history, and urged that some notice be given 
 in the design of Indiana's four great military events : 
 
 1. Capture of Vincennes, 1779. 
 
 2. Battle of Tippecanoe. 
 
 3. Mexican War. 
 
 4. Civil War. 
 
 by suitable statuary or memorial tablets. 
 
 "Upon the motion of C. W. Moores, seconded by F. N. KoUock, 
 it was directed that the president appoint a committee of five who 
 should have Mr. English's address printed and present it as a 
 memorial to the Monument Commissioners and the Legislature, 
 and urge upon them the adoption of Mr. English's suggestions for 
 the completion of the monument."

 The following eight hundred and ten veterans of the American Revolu- 
 tion were on the Federal pension rolls in 1835 as residents of Indiana. The 
 list was prepared pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Senate of the 
 United States on June 5, 1834. The Secretary of War reported all pen-
