The General Galusha Pennypacker Memorial, located in Philadelphia, pays tribute to the youngest general to serve in the Civil War, Galusha Pennypacker. The monument, created in 1934 by artist Albert Laessle, stands at a height of 10 feet 8 inches and features Pennypacker in classical costume, portrayed with energetic determination as he strides forward atop a gun carriage flanked by two tigers.
Originally conceived by Charles Grafly, the project was passed on to Albert Laessle who was already renowned for his sculptures in Philadelphia, including 'Billy in Rittenhouse Square' and 'Penguins at the Zoo.' The monument, following the Beaux-Arts tradition, showcases intricate details and symbolism, capturing the essence of Pennypacker's military legacy and his achievements during and after the Civil War.
