The Concord Minuteman
One of Daniel Chester French's first, and most beloved sculptures is of an image of a Revolutionary War "Minute Man" which is found today at the Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts.
For the centennial of the beginning of the Revolution, the town of Concord commissioned French to create a statue of a continental Minute Man. It was to be French's first full size statue, and was to stand on a base inscribed with a sentence from Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Concord Hymn." French was paid $1,000 for the statue that was unveiled on April 19, 1875.
