Bucky O'Neill Monument, Bronze equestrian sculpture at Courthouse Plaza, Prescott, United States

The Bucky O'Neill Monument is a bronze equestrian statue standing before the steps of Yavapai County Courthouse in Prescott's main plaza. The figure depicts a mounted rider in full cavalry dress, positioned prominently at the plaza's center where the courthouse building frames the backdrop.

The monument was created by sculptor Solon Borglum in 1907 to commemorate Captain William O'Neill and other Arizona volunteers who served in Theodore Roosevelt's cavalry regiment. It honors those who died during the Spanish-American War in 1898.

The monument's east plaque names the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, known as Roosevelt's Rough Riders, and honors Captain William O. O'Neill and comrades who died in the war with Spain. A separate plaque added in 2023 remembers Frank Brito, a Yaqui from Companies H and I whose name was missing. The bronze is attributed to Solon Borglum, called America's first cowboy sculptor.

The monument sits at the center of Courthouse Plaza, easily accessible on foot from downtown Prescott. The plaza is open to the public with clear sightlines from multiple directions, making it convenient to view from any angle.

A small plaque added to the granite slab in front of the sculpture on August 24, 2023, honors Frank Brito, a Yaqui from Companies H and I whose name is missing from the monument itself. It was placed by Buckey O'Neill Camp 175 of the Sons of Spanish American War Veterans.
