OTHER WORKS BY E. M. VIQUESNEY

E. M. Viquesney moved from his native 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: In 1922, Viquesney moved back to his hometown of Spencer, Indiana, and it was here that he hit his creative stride. The list below is certainly not complete; no one really knows just how many works Viquesney created; new works have kept turning up over the years.
