Talk:Liberty Arming the Patriot

Note
Just in case if anyone is wondering why I changed the dates to reflect 1897 instead of 1896, the NRHP is actually wrong and it has not updated it yet. Though the NRHP does list 1896 as the significant date, the sculpture design and work was begun in 1896 and dedicated in 1897. The NRHP and other sources clearly indicate the dedication in 1897, but given that work began in 1896 it is not far off the mark. I've updated the details to reflect this, as Hastings had won the commission in (likely) March of 1896 as reported in the NYT. The completion and dedication followed on May 31, 1897.
