A MEMORIAL TO RENE ROBERT CAVALIER SIEUR DE LA SALLE and HENRI DE TONTI

PLACED BY THE COLONIAL DAMES OF AMERICA.

The LaSalle Memorial on the west side of the Michigan Avenue Bridge is every bit as good as the Marquette Memorial on the East. (See Previous Post)  The cast of characters, again, is protrayed to the last detail .......


....right down to the dog, the earrings, and Tonti's prosthetic hand, shown here adjacent to LaSalle's.

    Amazing images again!!
    But I am equally impressed with your tenacity..
    You have been covering the sculptures on the bridge is so much details, which definitely takes time.. I would never have so much patience!
    Thanks again for sharing your wonderful images..

    Thanks! But, for me this doesn't take patience -- the detail is pure joy.
