If you don't recognize the name, Solon Borglum, consider this scene...It's July 3, 1907. A parade with cavalry, a marching band, a troop of Rough Rider veterans, Civil War veterans, troops from Fort Whipple, the territorial governor, various prominent citizens and military officers, and the fire departments of Phoenix, Tucson and Prescott proceed to the courthouse plaza in Prescott. Seven thousand people witness the unveiling of the statue of Prescott's own Buckey O'Neill.
