Subject: George H. Thomas Year: 1879 Sculptor: John Quincy Adams Ward Location: Thomas Circle ( Massachusetts Ave. & 14th ) This statue is considered by some to be the finest equestrian statue in the city. It was funded by the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, which Thomas (1816-1870) commanded upon his promotion to brigadier general. Although he was a Virginian, Thomas remained with the Union Army when the Civil War began and became a hero of the Battle of Chickamauga which prevented a major Union defeat.
