OTHER WORKS BY E. M. VIQUESNEY
E. M. Viquesney moved from Spencer, Indiana to Americus, Georgia in 1905 to work on the monuments at Andersonville, the site of the infamous Confederate prison camp for Union soldiers during the Civil War. In 1920 he copyrighted his famous "Spirit of the American Doughboy" tribute to the infantrymen of WWI, for which he is most remembered.
But that work was by no means his only claim to fame: Selecting the link to this page activates a roll-out sub-menu, or use the links below. The list is certainly not complete; no one really knows just how many pieces Viquesney created. Early in his career he made many statues of Confederate veterans at what is now Andersonville Prison National Historic Site in Georgia, as well as grave markers in many Indiana cemeteries.
