Lee Park celebrated it's 100th Birthday this year. The Lee is Lee Park isn't Sara or Kathy, it is of course Robert E. Lee who I captured here last evening below a moon-lit sky. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt dedicated this monument in 1936 when the name was officially changed from Oak Lawn Park to Robert E. Lee Park. The young aide, also on horseback, represents all the soldiers who fought under Lee's command. The statue was the work of noted sculptor A. Phemister Proctor.
