General Nathaniel Greene Statue
General Nathaniel Greene
Sculpted by T. J. Dixon and James Nelson and Erected in 2006, this statue resides at the intersection of Main and Broad Streets, beside the Greenville News building and across the street from the Peace Center for the Performing Arts. Nathaniel Greene was a major general for the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War. Greenville's General marker inscription reads as follows:
A Rhode Island private who followed his dream.
In 1780 as Washington's man
He came to our state to free our great land.
Armies of British were sent by the King,
But they were no match for the genius of Greene.
Backed by the bravest of ill-equipped men
The Patriots fought to the glorious end.
There were Pickens and Sumter and Marion too,
Wild men at heart but to Greene they were true.
These Ghosts of the Woodlands who took up the cause
Gave the redcoats and Indians a reason to pause.
From the hills to the coast they took back our land,
For Liberty's sake they took a bold stand.
Our Nation was born by the Team and the Scheme
Of Marion, Sumter, Pickens and Greene.
To thank these great leaders and honor Greene's skill
Our town and our county were christened Greeneville.
