Shortly after Logan's death the Illinois legislature appropriated 50,000 dollars for a memorial. The Chicago Park District contributed the installation site and $14,000 for the foundation. Saint-Gaudens was chosen by a committee formed in Chicago to memorialize Logan. He collaborated with architect Stanford White to create the environmental context for his sculpture. Daniel H. Burnham assisted Stanford White with the design of the base and setting. Saint-Gaudens created the figure and Alexander Phimister Proctor created the horse. Annette Johnson and Mary Lawrence Tonetti also worked on the commission.  -- SIRIS
