Talk:Fitz-Greene Halleck

Confusing info in Legacy
Under Legacy, it says the first monument to commemorate an American poet was dedicated to Halleck in Connecticut in 1870. It then says the first statue to commemorate an American poet was dedicated to Halleck in New York in 1877. Is this competing information or is there a real significant different between statue and monument? And, of course, references would be nice. --Midnightdreary (talk) 13:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, a monument looks monumental, as in Washington Monument and may or may not be a statue, while a statue looks like a person, and may or may not be monumental. Presumably the Connecticut one wasn't made to look like him or someone would have also called it a statue.  Jim.henderson (talk) 01:10, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I was thinking that can be the only explanation. Still, sources (and even a photo) would make this work much better. A source would probably be able to clarify or confirm our assumptions, too. --Midnightdreary (talk) 12:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Any relation?
Not the commonest surname. Any relation to Henry Wager Halleck, General-in-chief of the Federal Army in the American Civil War? Valetude (talk) 00:25, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
