American sculptor William Clark Noble created this statue of General Porter that permanently stands at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. The statue is located next to the gated Van Cortlandt House which runs as a museum. General Porter served during the Civil War and is thought to be the first Harvard graduate that enlisted in the Union Army. The sculpture was dedicated in 1902 and was a gift to the city by National Guard Association of New York State. Sculptor Noble is remembered for his many memorials and statues that still stand throughout the United States.
