This monument represents John Breckinridge Castleman, a confederate officer (1841-1918). It stands in the Cherokee Triangle, in Louisville, Kentucky. It was privately commissioned in 1913. The monument was vandalized and subsequently conserved on multiple occasion notably in 1996, and in 2017, and most recently on February 7, 2018. The City of Louisville is currently holding meetings to garner public sentiment for guidance as to the final fate of this monument.

So sad to see monuments like this vandalised. I don’t suppose they caught whoever most recently defaced it? 😦

I hope they do, and that they keep the monument but have some kind of protection for it perhaps (anti-graffiti paint may be a good start). x

No matter what they write on the statue, you can’t change history. Good or bad.
