Gaudens is associated with those of John La Farge, White, MacMonnies, MacNeil, and Calder in the making of the Washington Arch. To St. Gaudens belongs the equestrian statue of William Tecumseh Sherman in the Plaza. And here, in Madison Square, the Farragut statue is his.
The September before I reached seventeen, we persuaded mother to let me go to Madison and study for a half year. So great was my eagerness to learn from books, that I had given no thought to people.

From Madison he would come north to Columbus on the mail stage, and at Columbus he would be within twenty-five miles of home. As I have told you, Mrs. Bays grew to respect Dic; and being willing to surrender, save for the shame of defeat, she honestly kept the terms of her armistice.
