The first ''Spirit of the American Doughboy'' statue wasn't made in Nashville, Georgia; it was first completed in Americus, Georgia, then displayed for public view in the lobby of the Rylander and Windsor Hotels, then shipped on to the city of Nashville, Georgia, which had simply been the first to place an order for the statue ($5,000, which included the pedestal). The order was placed even before the sculptor, Ernest Moore Viquesney, had completed work on the piece. But due to a delay in payment by Nashville, the second statue made, ordered by Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, became the first ''Spirit of the American Doughboy'' to be dedicated.
