var str = 'As the centerpiece of the Grand Army Plaza on the southeast corner of Central Park, this large gilded bronze equestrian statue of General William Tecumseh Sherman was the last major work of sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. General Sherman graduated from West Point and rose to fame in the Civil War where he had a leading role in the defeat of the Confederacy. Sherman died in New York in 1891 and many of his friends in the Chamber of Commerce commissioned a statue of him for the city. Sherman’s figure on the horse is being led by an allegorical female figure representing peace; an African American woman from Georgia, Harriette Eugenia Anderson served as the model for the figure. At the feet of Sherman’s horse is a pine branch representing his march through Georgia. The sculpture rests on a large granite pedestal with three bronze wreaths on each side. ';

var str = 'One of nine Civil War general statues in New York City, Civil War General Philip Sheridan stands watch over Christopher Park. The park is part of Sheridan Square in Manhattan. Sheridan served with distinction as a cavalry commander during the Civil War but continued his career post war and in 1884 was named commander-in-chief of the United States Army. This statue was presented by the General Sheridan Memorial Committee and dedicated on October 19, 1936. While Sheridan is usually depicted on horseback, Joseph Pollias’s statue presents the general in his full US Army uniform with a sword at his side and resting atop a granite plinth on which is inscribed the famous quote from General Ulysses S. Grant describing him: “He belongs to the first rank of soldiers, not only of our country, but of the world.”';
