English: The Mier Expedition and Dawson’s Men Monument and Tomb at Monument Hill and Kreische Brewery State Historic Sites south of La Grange, Texas, United States. For the 1936 Texas Centennial, the Texas Centennial Commission commissioned this 48-foot (15 m) shellstone monument with an Art Deco mural to prominently mark the mass grave of the men who perished in the Dawson Massacre and Mier Expedition. Page & Southerland designed the shellstone monument. It features a 35-foot-tall pigmented concrete mural, produced by Pierre Bourdelle, that depicts the “Black Bean Episode” of the Mier Expedition in low relief. Sculptor Raoul Josset produced a 10-foot-tall bronze high-relief statue of an angel at the monument base. The monument was completed in 1937 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 6, 2019.
