General Philip Sheridan, Bronze Civil War memorial at Sheridan Circle, United States.
The equestrian statue presents General Philip Sheridan mounted on his horse Rienzi during the Battle of Cedar Creek in 1864.
Congress allocated 50,000 dollars in 1889 to create this memorial, which was completed by sculptor Gutzon Borglum and unveiled in 1908.
The monument stands among eighteen Civil War memorials across Washington D.C., representing military leadership during a pivotal period in American history.
Visitors can access the memorial via public transportation, with several bus stops and metro stations within walking distance of Sheridan Circle.
The statue carries special meaning as Sheridan himself expressed concerns about equestrian sculptures, leading his wife to ensure an accurate representation after his death.
