That’s a fantastic statue. I am partial to interesting memorials and that surely takes the biscuit. Perhaps stores today should have a cannon outside, maybe that will prevent hold-ups!

Love the blog, kind regards, Si

In reply to Barbara Weibel.

The United States really has an interesting history that many like to dismiss because they simply don’t know about it. It’s the little stories that give culture character – and Texas certainly has a lot of that!

I’m glad it was such a quiet day otherwise I would have probably missed Eberly’s statue as well.

I loved this! Sometimes we learn so much about a place by stopping and really looking at those small memorials or statues that dot the cities and roadsides throughout the US.

In reply to Hannah Williams. haha, yes! The use of the cannon is absolutely Texas and really gives the story character. Now you won't be able to look at this statue the same again ;)
