var str = 'This 51-foot-high granite obelisk in New York City honors Major General William Jenkins Worth and serves as his tomb which is one of only 2 mausoleum monuments in the city (the other is Grant’s Tomb). The 2nd oldest monument park in the City sits at the confluence of Broadway, 5th Avenue and 24th Street. The obelisk has carved bands with the names of important battles in which Worth participated and on the front of the obelisk is a bronze bas relief sculpture of the general on his horse. On one side is inscribed the Latin phrase, “Ducit Amor Patriae” which means the love of country leads me. Four corner granite piers once held lamp posts but now serve as anchors for the surrounding cast-iron fence whose ornamental pickets replicate General Worth’s Congressional Sword of Honor. This magnificent monument was designed by James Goodwin Batterson and was dedicated on New York City’s Evacuation Day holiday of November 25, 1857 and the burial procession included 6,500 soldiers. General Worth was born in Hudson, New York and first served in the War of 1812; his distinguished service and valor resulted in his rapid promotion. His military service was a departure from his Quaker family’s pacifist values. He served as the fourth Commandant of Cadets at West Point, New York despite not having attended the Academy himself. He then served in the Second Seminole War in 1842 which resulted in his promotion to general. Worth then fought in most of the major battles of the Mexican War from Vera Cruz to Mexico City and was promoted to Major General in 1846. After the war he was given command of the Department of Texas but died in San Antonio of cholera in 1859. The monument, which has undergone extensive renovations in 1995 is now supported by an endowment from his great-great grandson, Commander UNSR James W. Woodruff, Jr. The city of Fort Worth, Texas is named for the general.';
