William Henry Seward, Bronze statue in Volunteer Park, United States.
Richard Brooks crafted this bronze sculpture depicting William Henry Seward seated in an armchair with books and documents surrounding him at his feet.
The monument was inaugurated during the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909, marking the recent acquisition of Alaska from Russia through Seward's negotiations.
This sculpture represents Secretary of State Seward's determination in expanding United States territory through the purchase of Alaska for 7.2 million dollars.
Visitors can find the statue near the main entrance of Volunteer Park, with wheelchair access available through paved pathways leading to the monument.
The statue bears the alternative name 'Let Us Make the Treaty Tonight', referring to the exact moment when Seward proposed finalizing the Alaska purchase.
