Most significantly, the Newburgh version of the Minuteman figure wears a hat. Originally the sculpture was part of a fountain with a stone foundation erected by M. J. Dwyer of Newburgh, New York. The inscription on a small bronze plaque located in front of the sculpture reads: THE MINUTEMAN/GIVEN BY/DAVID BARCLAY/NOVEMBER XI/MCMXXIV. References:  Save Outdoor Sculpture, New York survey, 1993.
