Intriguing sculpture of local inn keeper Angelina Eberly who fired a six-pound cannon into the General Land Office Building in 1842 to arouse attention to the secret removal of the archives of the Texas Republic to the town of Washington-on-the-Brazos ordered by Sam Houston. This led to the so-called Archive War which ended with Austin remaining the capital of Texas. The sculpture was completed in 2004 but is located on the actual spot from where she famously fired the cannon.
