Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Description of the Dedication of the Monument: Erected at Guilford, Connecticut, in Honor of Fitz-Greene Halleck Soon after the death of Fitz-Greene Halleck, near the close of the year 1867, his friend, General J. G. Wilson, aided by Mr. Benjamin H. Field, and the Hon. Horace Greeley, of New York, by General H. W. Halleck, the poet´s kinsman, then in command of the Division of the Pacific, and Mr, Horace H. Moore, of San Francisco, collected the sum of two thousand dollars among the poets many friends and admirers, for the purpose of erecting a suitable monument at Guilford, Connecticut, his birth and burial place. It was designed gratuitously by Douglas Smythe, of New York, and was made and erected by John Ritter & Son, of New Haven, in August, 1868. The engraving of the monument was obligingly furnished to the committee by Frank Leslie. It is made of Rhode Island granite, and is nearly eighteen feet high. Upon the front tablet is the simple inscription, in basrelief, "Fitz-Gbeene Halleck, 1790-1867," and upon the cornice of the pedestal the following lines from his poem of "Marco Bozzaris:" "One of the few, the immortal names, That were not born to die."
