点评:There are numerous monuments around the beautiful Georgetown public square including that of Robert McAlpin Williamson (aka Three-legged Willie). This bronze statue is located along S. Austin Ave. and is the work of Lucas Adam (2013). What you will see is a stately dressed Williamson with a walking cane and his famed peg leg, attached to his knee and used to support him while walking due to his severe arthritis.
Williamson was an important figure during his life (1804-1859), serving numerous roles of servitude to the state of Texas including being a Major with the Texas Rangers, newspaper founder, travelling circuit judge, Texas Supreme Court judge and early Senator for the State of Texas. In time, the country was named after Williamson, memorialising Three-legged Willie into local and state history. You can conveniently see his statue while enjoying a walk around Historic Georgetown square.

威廉姆森一生中(1804-1859 年)是一位重要人物,曾为德克萨斯州担任过许多职务,包括担任德克萨斯游骑兵队的少校、报纸创始人、巡回法官、德克萨斯州最高法院法官和早期的州参议员德克萨斯州。随着时间的推移,这个国家以威廉姆森的名字命名,以纪念三足威利进入当地和州历史。您可以在历史悠久的乔治敦广场散步时方便地看到他的雕像。
