English: Sculpted by Philadelphia-based artist J. Otto Schweizer with backing from the German Alliance of Utica, this larger-than-life bronze equestrian statue of Friedrich Wilhelm Baron von Steuben - the Prussian-born American Revolutionary general, military tactician, and later chief of staff to George Washington whose influential Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States was in use by the U.S. military for nearly fifty years - stands on Memorial Parkway east of Genesee Street, as seen in September 2021. Of the many sculptures and monuments lining the median strip of this verdant Olmsted Brothers-designed greenway, the Steuben monument is the second-oldest, and the first of three to have been dedicated by representatives of Utica's prominent ethnic communities as an expression of pride (the others are a 1930 statue of General Casimir Pulaski two blocks east, as well as a statue of Columbus sculpted in 1952 by Enrico Arrighini of Pietrasanta, Italy and moved to the Parkway fourteen years later). An unfortunate coincidence is that the date of the Steuben Monument's dedication - August 3, 1914 - was also that date of Germany's entry into the First World War, which precipitated an unprecedented wave of anti-German sentiment in the United States.
