This is not to complicate things a whole lot, and I don't have the answer. There is a web page on the Richmond, VA civil war monuments which deals with some interesting myths, at http://richmond.about.com/library/weekly/aa011101a.htm The famous sculpture of Peter I in St. Peterburg has both the horse's forelegs up in the air, but he didn't die in battle. Ruth Wallach USC >Dear Fellow Arlis Members: > >The column "Ask Marilyn" in the Sunday, July 15 issue of Parade, a >magazine insert in newspapers, featured a question: "One often sees >commemorative statues of soldiers mounted on horses with their >forelegs in various positions.

A historian at >Arlington National Cemetery explains that when both forelegs of the >horse are in the air, the rider died in battle. When only one foreleg >is raised, the rider died of his wounds afterward.
