Assassinated Buffalo Died Lights Mckinley Obelisk Shot 1901
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the McKinley Monument in Buffalo, New York State, USA, bathed in the soft glow of night. The monument, an obelisk standing tall and proud in Delaware Park, is a poignant tribute to President William McKinley, who was assassinated in the city on September 6, 1901. The President had been attending the Pan-American Exposition when he was shot by an anarchist, Leon Czolgosz. Despite the tragic circumstances, the monument stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of American history and the resilience of the nation. The monument, completed in 1904-1908, is a significant historical landmark, and its dark and mysterious aura is amplified by the twinkling lights that illuminate the monument and its surrounding square. The buildings in the background, silhouetted against the night sky, add to the sense of history and nostalgia. The McKinley Monument is not only a memorial to a President, but also a symbol of the city of Buffalo and the state of New York. The image, circa 1904-1908, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the nation was grappling with the aftermath of a tragic event. The McKinley Monument stands as a reminder of the past, a testament to the resilience of the American people, and a beacon of hope for the future.
