West Virginia.
First Suggestions.
About this time, 1855, he was pay
ing visit to an old playmate's home,
Henry f. Bush-Brown. one of Amer
ica's greatest sculptors, at Newburgh-
on-the-Hudson, In New York, and
spoke to him of the project In his
mind, and went over with his friend
the details of the some-day-to-be-
erected monument. Sketches were
made and plans formulated during the
next few years and. finally, some ten
years later, Colonel Edwards began to
see his way clear to provide the con-
siderable sum of money the undertake
ing would require-the creating In en-
during bronze fitting figure In heroic
size idealizing the true fighting spirit
of the West Virginian!
Bush-Brown's Rise to Eminence.
Mr.. Bush-Brown had meantime been
doing notable work in his art. and
growing in reputation to be esteemed
az one of Americas foremost sculp-
tors. His great equestrian statue or
General Meade, done for the nation
and placed at Gettysburg; his equally
noble statue of General Reynolds,
commander of the Pennsylvania
forces, placed also upon the same bat
tlefield; of Mad" Anthony Wayne
astride his splendid horse marking
the camp of Washington at Valley
Forge; his Justinian browning the
beautiful courthouse Of the supreme
court of appeals in New York; his
work for the Union League club OF
Philadelphia; his commission by the

"The figure is that Of no single man.
It is the composite representation OF
a yet living type. The gifted sculptor
created it in no hurried moment. 1t
is the outcome of successive years Of
study and travel and association
among our finest population in divers
parts of West Virginia, where are yet
preserved so many splendid types OF
our militant people. Look upon this
face! In it you behold a hundred
faces which you have seen and known
and yet know.
THE race. the West Virginian, as
we know him, as we would wish to
know him, lives and will live forever
in this imperishable bronze to inspire
and glorify the generation Of today
and also many generation yet I'M
born.
an this noble face and figure you
now possess one of the great master
pieces of the sculptor's art in Amer
lea and in the world. 1t typifies the
spirit of the West virginian."

Popular Subscription For Pedestal.
1t is felt that the public ought to be
given the opportunity to subscribe TO-

And, accordingly, it has been suggest
ed that subscription be opened
throughout the state under the aus

taking part in the payments for the
beautiful pedestal.
Unveiled December 10, 1912.
Thus, it is, that after many years OF
planning and more than five years OF
actual work, the great memorial
statue has at last been unveiled
and passed into the keeping of the
state and her people-an inspiration
toward the highest ideals of patriot
ism, it is hoped, to the generation OF
today and also those yet unborn.

raise the money by popular subscrip-

great figure, but@upon reflection aud
consultation, it was decided to build

Finally Contract For Statue Made.
Finally some five years ago, Colonel
Edwards invited Mr.. Bush-Brown to
visit him at his home in Kanawha,
and there, along through the month of
August, plans were formulated for the
creation of this work OF art, and Mr..
Edwards entered into written con-
tract with the sculptor and made his
first payment on account. The first
series of serious sketches and models
were then prepared by Bush-Brown
and the develc crit of the statue be-
gan to go sta-.l !. forward. The fol-

Time Agreed On Five Years.
At the beginning, five years were
apporticned as the period through
which the work should proceed and
the payments be made, being the time
desired by the artist to complete the
work, and 1t was two years before the
artist and his friends were able to
decide uron just what form the monu-
ment ought 10 take-it was gradual
working out OF the best possible real
ization of ideals. Finally the decision
was. made--the heroic figure of the
typical West Virginian who saved and
made the state.

soldier here at the capitol grounds
this afternoon took place. The statue,
which is in bronze, is the work of the
celebrated sculptor, Henry K. Bush

of Charleston to the state. Rev. Carl

The flag fell slowly away from the
exquisite figure. AS the great throns

classic outlines hush fell upon them
and then a great cheer burst forth.
The work is distinctively the best OF
