Pierre Menard
Springfield, IL - Capitol Area - Sculpture - The 8-foot bronze statue of Illinois’ first Lieutenant Governor was the first to be placed on the Capitol lawn on May 28, 1886. A French-Canadian, Pierre Menard is depicted trading with a Native American along the Mississippi River. The fox skin and calumet pipe symbolize the peaceful commerce Menard fostered between the Native American and white communities. (Sculptor: John H. Mahoney, 1886)
