- Statue_of_Jacob_Leisler abstract "The Jacob Leisler Monument is a bronze sculpture designed by American artist Solon Borglum, and is located in the city of New Rochelle, in Westchester County, New York. The monument was erected by the Huguenot Chapter of the ‘’’Daughters of the Revolution’’, and the Huguenot Association of New Rochelle to the memory of Jacob Leisler, friend and advocate of the Huguenot settlers and the first chief executive of the province of New York to draw his power directly from the people. The unveiling of the statue on June 24th, 1913, was the principal event in the celebration of the two hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of New Rochelle. The monument is the only existing statue of Leisler.Jacob Leisler was a German-born American colonist who came to America by way of Holland as a soldier in the West India Company's service in 1660. Settling in New York he prospered and became a wealthy merchant and later was integral in helping to create the Huguenot settlement of New Rochelle in 1688. He also served as the acting Lieutenant Governor of New York under King James II. Beginning in 1689, he led an insurrection dubbed Leisler's Rebellion in colonial New York, seizing control of the colony. In 1691 he was unlawfully convicted of felony and treason William and Mary and executed. Four years later, Parliament reversed the conviction, exonerating the deceased friend of the Huguenots.".
