Dedication of the Statue to General Henry W. Lawton, Indianapolis, Indiana, May 30, 1907

Description:	Hoosier General Henry W. Lawton was killed during the Philippine Insurrection on December 19, 1899. To honor him, Indianapolis hired sculptor Andrew OConner, Jr. to create a bronze sculpture of the general. The statue was dedicated on the lawn of the Marion County Courthouse on May 30, 1907. The featured speaker that day was President Theodore Roosevelt. This view shows the president on the podium speaking, the statue, and the crowd gathered close to the president. The statue is now located in Garfield Park on the south side of Indianapolis. The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. Interpositives are stored in PAN number order.
