La Grange, Ohio.
Berea sandstone 9'h x 2'l x 18"w.
Carved from a single piece of gray Berea sandstone weighing 5500 lbs., this piece was completed and installed in 1999. It was commissioned by a developer as an entry piece to a newly developed shopping center called Sentinel Square. The charming town of LaGrange Ohio has a quaint feeling with its' early 19th century architecture. Sentinel Square has employed the elements found in town and added the sentry to enhance the feeling of a small town square. Kraus chose the historical figure of a Mexican War U.S. soldier of 1848 to carve in stone. This may be the only monument in the country to a common soldier of the Mexican War era.
