Inscription. Great soldier of freedom who participated in the three greatest political upheavals of his time: the struggle for Independence in the United States, the French Revolution and the emancipation of Latin America.

Miranda to O'Higgins

"Miranda knew more of the families, parties, and connections in the United States, than any other man in them; … he knew more of every campaign, siege, battle, and skirmish that had ever occurred in the whole war, than any officer in our army, or any statesman in our councils."
John Adams

Erected 1976 by Lorenzo Gonzalez, sculptor; presented by Venezuela to the United States of America on its Bicentennial.
