I actually know this one. He was Karl Gerhardt and his largest claim to fame is his GK Warren statue on LRT at Gettysburg. He also did Stannard's Vermont monument at Gettysburg among other CW related monuments.


Bonus.
Wisconsin newspaper editor Marcus M. Pomeroy said that.


I am improving health wise. Still not up to do extensive searches. That Duncan Hines answer was one that had to take a bit of time to find. I thought I would pop in for my health update and to say hello to everyone. I am planning to return playing in November when all my issues are hopefully in my rear view mirror. See you then. Hoosier, don't waste your time counting my score if correct. I have no short term intentions of resuming playing.

Regular question :
He is sculptor Karl Gerhardt. Born in 1853, he was too young to actively take part in the Civil War, but he created the death mask of Pres. and former Union General U.S. Grant and was the sculptor of the G. K. Warren monument at Gettysburg. I think that should be connection enough.

Bonus:
I'd love to see a whole thread based on that quote... sure would be interesting, right, @W. Richardson and @War Horse?
:D

As for the qote, that was said by Wisconsin newspaper editor Markus M
Pomeroy:


"Of course the rankest abuse came from the copperheads, among whom none was more inventive in his vituperation than a Wisconsin editor, Marcus M. Pomeroy. Lincoln, he wrote, was "but the fungus from the corrupt womb of bigotry and fanaticism"—indeed a "worse tyrant and more inhuman butcher than has existed since the days of Nero."
