The [[State of Illinois]] commissioned an [[equestrian statue]] of the general that now stands in [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago's]] [[Grant Park (Chicago)|Grant Park]]. Another equestrian statue stands in [[Logan Circle (Washington, D.C.)|Logan Circle]] in [[Washington, D.C.]], which gives its name to the surrounding neighborhood.
