Picture the following cities: New York, St. Louis, Paris, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. When one thinks of New York, the Statue of Liberty comes to mind. The same can be said of the Eiffel Tower for Paris, the Golden Gate Bridge for San Francisco, and the Arch for St. Louis. The American will soon join these symbolic landmarks.

Towering more than 21-stories, The American will be the tallest, freestanding bronze monument in the world that visitors can enter and ascend to a viewing area near the top. The monumental sculpture depicts an Indian brave standing with his right arm extended upward as a bald eagle lands on his shroud-covered forearm. The left arm, relaxed at his side, catches a blanket fallen from his shoulder.
