Some people had the last statue identification correct, but missed the location because of a recent development.
As Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville told us: “Richmond (Va.) National Battlefield Park has loaned its bronze statue of Abraham and Tad Lincoln to the Valentine Museum for a temporary outdoor exhibition. New Market Corporation, which owns the historic Tredegar campus where the National Park Service maintains a visitor contact station, is preparing the site for a proposed amphitheater that requires the relocation of the statue.” The photograph came from George Graf of Palmyra, Va.
Others getting it right included Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C.; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Albert Castillo, Rio Rancho, N.M.; Virginia Klaer of Duluth; and Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex. ,told us: “The statue depicts Lincoln and his son sitting on a bench during their historic visit to Richmond on April 4, 1865 to tour the burned-out Confederate Capitol, just 10 days before his assassination. The statue captures a moment when Lincoln is explaining to his son, who is listening intently, as to what happened and why the Confederacy burned the city to the ground as they retreated just before it fell to the Union forces.”
