In a walking tour...Here's more on the Pioneer!<br /><br />In a walking tour on "<a href="https://theclio.com/tour/888" rel="nofollow">Salem's Pioneer Monuments</a>," Cynthia Prescott writes:<br /><br />"<i>At the turn of the 20th century, New York artist Allen G. Newman sculpted an Oregon pioneer based on historic objects provided by the Breyman family of Salem, Oregon. The original zinc casting was erected near the Oregon state capitol in Salem in 1904. J. L. Mott Iron Works in New York cast numerous copies of "The Pioneer." One in Ashland, Oregon, was known locally as "Pioneer Mike." Other castings were erected on the University of Colorado campus and in Storm Lake, Iowa. None of the original statues are known to have survived. In recent years, Pioneer statues were recast for Ashland and Storm Lake. The original Salem statue was toppled by a windstorm in 1917 and never replaced.</i>"<br /><br />(You may recall Prescott from a note on her book, <i><a href="https://breakfastonbikes.blogspot.com/2019/06/guidance-of-youth-and-ideology-of-pioneer-mother-monuments-cynthia-prescott.html" rel="nofollow">Pioneer Mother Monuments: Constructing Cultural Memory</a>.</i>)Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.com
