Did You Know?
If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

    I have heard that it is true of the statues at Gettysburg but not necessarily true of all military statues. Don't know where you might find more on the topic.
