Monument Square

[C.A. Chicoine]

I feel there should be a monument of Samuel Adams errected in this city. Afterall, this city is named after this beloved Founding Father. And located at the base, or nearby, should be an Honour Roll of those in the area who fought in the American Revolutionary War.

Perhaps located at the opposite end of Main Street?

I did more research on this. A bronze statue is my personal preferance. The cost? About $60,000. Anyone know of any "rich" sponsors?

* Ought there not also to stand in Adams or North Adams some suitable memorial of Samuel Adams, the great patriot, whose name these two proud places hear? Copley’s portrait has supplied for the sculptor the face of Adams and the attitude most fitting for the statue which will assuredly some day stand there in the shadow of old Greylock. — Editor.
