Abstract
Description
Wars of America is a colossal bronze sculpture by Mount Rushmore sculptor Gutzon Borglum and his assistant Luigi Del Bianco containing "forty-two humans and two horses", located in Military Park in Newark. The sculpture sits on a base of granite from Stone Mountain.
The sculpture was erected in 1926, eight years after World War I ended, but its intent was broadened to honor all of America's war dead.
