Excerpt from The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific-Exposition, and Seattle the Beautiful Exposition CityThis new bronze monument of Washington stands, temporarily, upon Puget Plaza and is the first object to arrest attention after passing within the Main Entrance. The fund for its purchase was the result of patriotic efforts of Washington women, members of the D. A. R. Through their successful work a substantial amount was secured and later the state government made an appropriation sufficient to secure the monument for the Exposition period. It was unveiled on Monday, June 14th, the cord being drawn by Eleanor Washington Caldwell, a descendant of the Washington family. The sculptor was Lorado Taft. Its permanent location is to be upon the University campus.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
