I blogged about these...one of my favorite finds on a cemetery walk. I love the first one! Great find.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful finds! It's a shame how the Native Americans were and are still treated, especially out west. Being Indian myself, I have a place in my heart for all Indians (no, I am not into political correctness) that try to do their best yet never seem to get ahead because they are Indian. (however I have ZERO sympathy for those who commit crimes etc and then blame it on their heritage or the way their ancestors have been treated).
ReplyDeleteThe bronze statue of John Beaver was sculpted and cast in Italy.
