"Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, 'the Hero of lake Erie,' was the gallant guardian of the Great Lakes when he fended off the British Navy in Lake Erie. His leadership also contributed to all nine victories in the campaign of Lake Erie. This campaign proved to be a turning point in the War of 1812. His brave victories are remembered all over the United States." | Creator: William Walcutt | Source: Ohio Outdoor SculptureDownload Original File
