Nathaniel Greene was one of the most highly regarded generals of the Revolutionary War.
This statue is at Guilford County Courthouse National Military Park, one of Greensboro, NC's many beautiful parks.

General Greene is also the name inspiration for "Natty Greens" Brewpub in downtown Greensboro, a favorite among local beer geeks.

HiImTerry says:: I'm a history geek, so I always have a great time at anything that has the words "National Military Park" in the title. I'll buy you whatever you want at the Throwdown if you put a cone on the general's head, as per @Revgoomba.
