Theodore Roosevelt and the Vigeland statue
James F. Vivian describes the efforts of the Roosevelt Monument Association to have an equestrian statue of Theodore Roosevelt made for the state agricultural college in Fargo, North Dakota. Vivian highlights the sculptor chosen for the project, Gustav Viegland, and he details how Roosevelt, who initially sat for Viegland, decided that he did not want a statue made of him while he was still alive. An illustration of a model of the proposed statue appears in the article as does a reprint of a letter from the Roosevelt Monument Association on association stationery.
