The statue of an Indian
drinking from a spring is a sculpture done at the turn of the twentieth
century by Phimister Protor. Located in a peaceful setting in Battlefield
Park it is “dedicated to the many tribes of Indians that were once a part of
the region.”
The sculpture was given to the park in 1921 by George Pratt
and includes an inscription which reads: “Under quiet pines amidst a
peaceful pool, an Indian is poised, dipping his hand for a drink from the
cool water.”
