Chippewa Square Chippewa Square was named to commemorate the victory of American troops under General Jacob Brown in the Battle of Chippewa, War of 1812. In the center is a handsome bronze sculpture by Daniel Chester French of James Edward Oglethorpe in the full dress uniform of a British general. His right hand rests on his unsheathed sword; his eyes gaze southward toward Florida, ever guarding Georgia from the threat of the Spaniards. (Yes, the Oglethorpe statue is not in Oglethorpe Square.) Henry Bacon, who designed the base of the monument, also teamed with Daniel French to create the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
