The infantry group on the south side of Grant's pedestal. Shrady sketched the two panels in clay but his death left them unfinished. He had reluctantly hired a young assistant, Edmund Amateis, to assist him but was still unable to finish. They were completed by sculptor Sherry Fry and installed in 1924.

This panel differs from the north side in several ways. Here the infantry is moving on perhaps in preparation for their next battle. Notice that ... (1) The soldiers have bedrolls, (2) Bayonettes have been stowed, and (3) The drummer boy has his drum slung over his back. Here's a close look at the drummer on the other panel.

The "Full Size" link at the top of the page is especially helpful in the case of the infantry groups. Check it out! You'll have a better view here than if you were standing in front of it.
