Salvete Omnes,
The monument, sculpted by James Earle Fraser, as part of the New York Memorial to Theodore Roosevelt stood there for 80 years.
So fast forward to 2022AD, and in the wee hours of the night when January 20th going on 21st the NYC government had the worker remove the famous statue.
It will be going to Medora, North Dakota, a tiny town of some 120 residents surrounded by the T. Roosevelt National Park and Little Missouri National Grassland.
The Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation in its compound in Medora will be house this equestrian monument.

Medora' famous citizen was this colorful French aristocrat, duelist, gunslinger and cavalryman, Badlands Ranchero etc.
Antoine-Amédée-Marie-Vincent Manca Amat de Vallombrosa, Marquis de Morès et de Montemaggiore (14 June 1858 – 9 June 1896).
It is so interesting that the Hollywood dons' have never made any movie about this colorful man. Too French and too real I guess
