Augustus Saint-Gaudens

Today we feature a picture of the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. He created many of the statues of Civil War heroes found across the country. Of all the important artwork he created, he is most remembered for creating the design for the US "Double Eagle" twenty dollar gold piece. Many people consider this to be one of the most beautiful coins ever created.
