THE SCOUT Statue Sign Major Henry Harrison Young For Valor During The Civil War (1861-1865) Monument In Providence RI Editorial Photo

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.
