Description
Equestrian statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, astride his horse, Traveller, in the park that surrounds the headquarters of the Dallas Park Board in Oak Lawn section of Dallas, Texas. Accompanying the general is a young rider, representing not an aide-de-camp but, according to the sculptor, the "youth of the South" who fought under Lee's command. The heroic-sized scupture was executed by Alexander Phimister Proctor, an early-21st Century American sculptor with the contemporary reputation as one of the nation's foremost animaliers, or sculptor of animals. The park office is a smaller-than-actual-size replica of Lee's Virginia home, Arlington House.
