Minerva is waving at the Statue of Liberty in the first photograph.
The second is “The Greeter,” a piece by American sculptor John Coleman. “The Greeter” is a depiction of a painting by George Catlin In 1832 of the Chief of the Hidatsa Indians, Black Moccasin.
The last two are about Margaret Cochran Corbin (read her story). I portrayed her in costume when I was an Urban Park Ranger in Inwood Hill Park. This was for a reenactment we did during Halloween.
It is good to read information about the sculptures. What a shame about the wrong remains, but, still, we have her impressive story
It was fun dressing up as Maggie Corbin and acting the part. I love the history in this cemetery. It is like a park. They give guided tours and there is literature about the long-term residents.
I so very much enjoyed these wonderful photos in Green-Wood cemetery, Sherry, as well as the history of bold and courageous Margaret Cochran Corbin. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed my trip to Green-wood.
