Statue of Thomas Cass, Bronze sculpture in Public Garden, Boston, US
The Statue of Thomas Cass stands 8 feet tall, depicting a Civil War officer with folded arms across his chest in military uniform.
Richard E. Brooks created this bronze monument in 1899 to replace an earlier granite memorial after veterans expressed dissatisfaction with the initial tribute.
The sculpture earned Brooks a gold medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris for its representation of military leadership.
The monument rests on a granite base measuring 6 feet 6 inches by 3 feet 8 inches, sourced from Red Beach in Maine.
The Smithsonian Institution included this statue in their Save Outdoor Sculpture survey program in 1993, documenting its condition and significance.
