Providence, Rhode Island statue of THE SCOUT, Lieutenant Henry H Young #269119264
Description
THE SCOUT, Lieutenant Henry H. Young, from the second Rhode Island Infantry Regiment, who became commander of Sheridan's scouts and vanished under mysterious circumstances during a river crossing into Mexico nearly 2 years after Appomattox. A statue named the Scout was erected in his honor at Burnside Park in downtown Providence Rhode Island. It is probably a figurative representation of Young rather than literal one as a statue figure wears the uniform and accouterments of a Calvary soldier whereas Young was an officer in the Infantry.
