Statue Trivia

[Gene C]

While on a recent trip to Oregon, I had to visit Lincoln City, a small resort town on the Pacific coast, where I found this statue.

Angela, found the same statue in Salzburg, Austria and posted about it here - http://rogerjnorton.com/LincolnDiscussio...l#pid32675
The same statue is also in New Salem.

Ms. Anna Hyatt Hunnington was famous for her equestrian statues. Which might explain why Lincoln is not looking as well as his horse. (Maybe it was just a boring section in the book he was reading). It was first offered to the University of Oregon, but they didn't want to pay the moving cost of $60,000. The town of Lincoln City somehow managed to raise the money so they got the statue.
