Spirit of the American Doughboy Monument (WWI)

If this bronze soldier looks familiar, that's because you've likely seen him before — in some other town's park or on a courthouse lawn. He is E. M. Viquesney's "Spirit of the American Doughboy," a World War I infantryman striding through barbed wire with a grenade raised overhead, mass-produced in the 1920s and '30s for communities across the country. Around 150 still stand in some 39 states, among the first mass-produced war memorials in America. Mount Pleasant's is one of them, honoring its own.
