The Albert Pike statue is the only Confederate military officer to have an outside public statue in Washington DC. (There are a bunch of other Confederate statues in places like the Capitol.) The statue was put up by the Masons to honor his Masonic deeds and it the only hint as to his role in the Confederacy -- "Soldier". He fought at the Battle of Buena Vista in the Mexican-American War. He was strongly pro-slavery. During the Civil War, he mostly served in the Indian Territory, and helped organize an Indian group in the Battle of Pea Ridge in March 1862. His troops were accused of scalping soliders in the field and he was charged with mishandling money and material and he eventually resigned.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
