A TOUCH OF FREEDOM
Bronze

This is a fragment from the monument for the Vicksburg National Military Park. The three man composition (1 and 1/3 lifesize) had to be cast in 70 different sections, each with its own mold, and the bronze components welded back together. Although the completed bronze tribute weighed two tons, this single hand struck me as a reminder of the intimacy of the Civil War.
