DescriptionAppletons' Herkimer Nicholas.jpg |
English: Memorial to American Revolutionary War General Nicholas Herkimer. After the centennial celebration of the battle of Oriskany, the Oneida Historical Society, presided over by Horatio Seymour, renewed a petition for a memorial with Congress, and $4,100 was voted, being the original diapproved appropriation of $500, with simple interest. The sum was increased to $10,000 by private subscriptions and an additional appropriation made by the New York legislature in 1882. The foundation is of limestone, and the pedestal and obelisk of granite. The total height of the monument is 85 feet. On each side of the pedestal is a bronze tablet 6 by 4½ feet. One represents the wounded general directing the battle; another the conflict between Indians and white men; another contains the dedication; and the fourth the names of 250 out of the 800 men in the battle. These tablets were the work of the National Fine Art Foundry of New York City. |
