Texas Heroes Monument

Texas Heroes Monument, Bronze and granite memorial at Broadway and 25th Street, Galveston, United States.

Texas Heroes Monument is a 74-foot light gray granite memorial at Broadway and Rosenberg Avenue in Galveston. Four 50-foot columns, each carved from a single granite block, rise from a 34-foot-diameter base and support a 22-foot bronze statue of Victory holding a sheathed sword entwined with roses and a laurel crown. Bronze reliefs and allegorical figures decorate the columns and base.

Henry Rosenberg, a Galveston banker, left $50,000 in his will for a monument to the heroes of the Texas Revolution of 1836. Sculptor Louis Amateis, then a professor in Rome, submitted the bronze groups and reliefs to the College of Sculptors there for approval. New England Granite Works built it of Concord, New Hampshire granite and bronze, and it was unveiled on April 22, 1900.

Each of the four columns carries a word naming a quality of the Texas Revolution fighters: Patriotism faces north toward the old entrance to Galveston and Texas, Courage east, Honor west and Devotion south. The bronze figures beneath them include Defiance unsheathing a sword, Peace, and a medallion of Stephen F. Austin.

The monument stands at the intersection of Broadway and Rosenberg Avenue, on Galveston Island about 2 metres above sea level. Its four columns face the cardinal directions, so Patriotism looks north toward the old entrance to Galveston and the state, Courage east, Honor west and Devotion south. Walk around the base to read each face.

The medallion of Stephen F. Austin sits on the south-facing Devotion column, ringed by allegorical figures of David Burnet, Davy Crockett, Frank Johnson, "Deaf" Smith and William Travis. Below it a bas relief marks the fall of the Alamo. The other three columns carry words rather than medallions: Patriotism, Honor, Devotion and Courage.
