[edit]Did You Know
...Madonna of the Trail is a series of monuments dedicated to the spirit of the pioneer woman in the United States? Created by German immigrant August Leimbach, they were placed in 12 states from Maryland to California in 1928 and 1929.

I just posted another
[edit]another Madonna picture, this one from Springerville AZ, and I was looking at it thinking, I was there fairly late in the afternoon, having driven from Dixon NM that day, and if she is facing west the sun should be in her face, not on her back. So does that mean that all this talk about all of them except the one in Bethedsa facing west is not right? Food for thought.

In addition, i am taking donations for a digital camera, but that's another story for another day.
MD Madonna is back in Bethesda
[edit]Maryland's Madonna was moved to 9700 Great Seneca Hwy, Rockville MD 20850, at the police and fire training facility. The statue was moved 2004-12-10 after a nearby water line broke triggering a sinkhole. Washington Post article. A photo of the statue being lifted is available in the WaPo archives as 'Listing Madonna Rescued in Bethesda'. On 2007-06-10 the Maryland Madonna was been returned to the Bethesda post office.

Relevance of listing info on a protest at site of monument
[edit]I pose this question about the appropriateness of the last addition at 3:30 June 3, 2020 who wrote "I updated the history of the statue in Upland, California." The Black Lives Matter protest was notable enough to get a little media coverage, but was not associated in any way with the Madonna of the Trail monument or its theme of pioneering women. My Q is: is the addition of info on any nearby event, unrelated to the actual monument, relevant enough to be included? For ex., a major car accident at the site? I have re-positioned this Edit as (arguably) a first example of a monument (Upland's) serving as a community landmark, and added the appropriate citation. Thoughts, folks?
