You can see the Infantry Group on the west side (left front) of the tomb. A gift
from the city of Chicago, it depicts soldiers on the march. Even the
drummer boy has drawn a revolver as the group prepares to charge.
Infantry Sculpture Group
Like the other three battle groups at the Lincoln tomb, this one was sculpted
in Italy and cast in Chicopee, Massachusetts. The federal government
donated 65 old cannon for the casting material. The completed work arrived at
the tomb in September 1877.
