The article primarily mentions the monument for Casimir Pulaski erected in Savannah at Monument Square. The monument for Tadeusz Kościuszko is only mentioned - the author of the text focuses rather on Kościuszko's arrival in America and the battle there.

Monuments to Casimir Pulaski and Tadeusz Kościuszko in America.

The two most distinguished warriors of the last period of the Republic, from the time of the last elected king, in the distant New World found monuments worthy of their merits.
Casimir Pulaski, that ideal of a hero, the last leader of the Bar Confederation, after bravely defending Częstochowa, left his homeland and hurried to America.
On 9 October 1779, he fell at the storming of the city of Savannah. A cannonball tore off his leg and he received a rifle shot in the chest when, at the head of a French cavalry regiment, having overrun the rampart, he fell into the middle of an English redoubt.

"Jesus! Mary! Joseph!" were his words as he was refreshed and lifted from the hail of bullets and the battlefield by the strapping soldiers. He lived for nearly two more hours. Transferred to the deck of a French ship, when a crucifix with the Crucified Christ was given to him, with a pious sigh he pressed it to his lips and died at sea, buried in its depths with all military honours.

In Savannah, in Monument Square, a tall stone obelisk was erected to him on the spot where he fell from his horse and received his fatal wound. In the congressional gallery in Washington, D.C., they preserve a bust of Pulaski. Several US ships so far bear his name, and the largest hotel in Savannah is named the "Pulaski House". The American poet Longfellow dedicated the "Hymn of the Moravian Sisters of Bethlehem, at the dedication of Pulaski's name" to his memory. We give two exceptions from it, translated by Alexander Rypinski:

"When Pulaski's banner was dedicated,
The bright last of the day was ending,
In the temple a stray ray behind the wall
Before the great altar flew up to the bars.
There, in a long row, were smouldering thunderbolts
And gilded heads and hoods;
A red banner, hung at the top,
Fell before the altar; the priest's ladle
Swung towards him; ceremonial prayers
He performed over this future emblem of battle.
And the nuns' silent hymn rang round
Across the mysterious haze among the church.

Take thy mark! Take it! If, God forbid,
Death will give thee a soldier's bed,
Let this red banner be to thee
A sign of fame and a shroud in the grave."

The knight stammered eagerly and proudly,
What was it to him? - A sheet in the coffin.

The young Kosciuszko, warmed by the example and heroism of Casimir Pulaski, also came to America, without any letters of recommendation. When he stood before Washington:

- With what intention are you coming? - the famous American leader asks him.

- I wish to defend the cause of your independence,' he replied.

- What skills do you have for this?

- Let me experience them, General - answered Kościuszko with noble openness.

Having received the rank of officer, on 18 November 1776, at the presentation of the war committee, he was appointed engineer with the rank of colonel, in the service of the United States of America. Our warrior was then in his twenty-ninth year.

Having rendered important services to the cause of American independence on the field of battle, he was appointed brigadier-general on 13 November 1783, on the recommendation of Washington, a rank which he received 'as a reward of his long, faithful and glorious services'.

In these distant parts of his homeland, Kościuszko met Casimir Pulaski, three years before his heroic demise.
Grateful Americans, mindful of Kosciuszko's deeds in their cause, dedicated a magnificent monument to him. Pulaski found his grave in the depths of the sea. Kościuszko was happier because his corpse rested on his native soil, and a lofty grave near Kraków reminds every wanderer of the name of a husband full of merit and sacrifice.
