I have reverted the recent large edit. Although there is some good material there, the faults are numerous and I don't feel like doing the laborious editing necessary to fix them. Please resubmit if you choose, fixing the following:

I am removing the sentence "There are of course those who believe it is Alfred, based on the Major General buttons on the statue's uniform and the fact that George G. Meade was also not Pennsylvania-born." It is original research, not based on a reliable source. In fact, Augustus was also a brevet major general, so the buttons mean nothing. And Meade, although technically born in Spain, was the son of a prominent Philadelphia family on temporary government assignment overseas, so the point about him is misplaced as well.
