Description Monument hill monument.jpg |
English:
The Mier Expedition and Dawson’s Men Monument and Tomb at
Monument Hill and Kreische Brewery State Historic Sites
south of
La Grange, Texas
, United States. For the 1936 Texas Centennial, the Texas Centennial Commission commissioned this 48-foot (15 m) shellstone monument with an Art Deco mural to prominently mark the mass grave of the men who perished in the Dawson Massacre and Mier Expedition. Page & Southerland designed the shellstone monument. It features a 35-foot-tall pigmented concrete mural, produced by Pierre Bourdelle, that depicts the “Black Bean Episode” of the Mier Expedition in low relief. Sculptor Raoul Josset produced a 10-foot-tall bronze high-relief statue of an angel at the monument base. The monument was completed in 1937 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 6, 2019.
