"Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight"
This LIncoln monument stands in front of the West Virginiia state capitol building in Charleston. A poem by Vachel Lindsay inspired the sculptor.
This statue brings to mind the terrible decisions LIncoln faced during the war. He often was at the White House telegraph office late at night waiting for dispatches from the front. This reminds me of what he must have felt after reading the dispatches that detailed the horrific sacrifices of both armies.
