Lew Wallace is a statue of the American Union general, politician, and author Lew Wallace by American-Irish sculptor Andrew O'Connor that has been produced in both marble and bronze versions.
The marble version, a gift from the State of Indiana, was unveiled in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on January 11, 1910,[1] in a commission that O'Connor received through the intervention of architect Cass Gilbert, with whom O’Connor had previously worked.[2] The same year a bronze version of the work was dedicated in Wallace's home town of Crawfordsville, Indiana, at what was to become the General Lew Wallace Study and Museum.[2]
