Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Hiker, Niagara Falls, New York - 20220911.jpg |
English: In Schoellkopf Park - the not-very-well-known name of the small green space at the southwest corner of Pine Avenue and Portage Road in Niagara Falls, New York, on the premises of the Memorial Medical Center - stands this copy of Allen George Newman's famous 1907 statue, The Hiker, as photographed in September 2022. According to the engraving on its pedestal, the monument was "erected by the city of Niagara Falls, New York in memory and recognition of its citizens who served their country in the war with Spain, Philippine Insurrection, and China Relief Expedition". Plans for the placement of a casting of Newman's statue were hatched in November 1926 by officials of the local United Spanish War Veterans camp and came to fruition just a little less than two years later as the centerpiece of the festivities of the 25th annual encampment of the U.S.W.V.'s Department of New York, which took place in July 1928 across the street in the auditorium of Niagara Falls High School. Along with the unveiling, the event was marked by musical performances from the Shredded Wheat company orchestra and the 28th U.S. Infantry Band, a lecture by former New York State Lieutenant Governor George R. Lunn on the historical role of the Spanish-American War in America's ascent to the position of world power, and speeches by a delegate from the Embassy of Cuba as well as numerous local officials. Inside the granite pedestal at the time of the statue's construction was inserted a copper tube containing, according to contemporaneous local news coverage, "newspapers, coins and mementos of the present day, and of 1898; a record of the unveiling ceremony and a record of Niagara Falls Camp No. 7" of the U.S.W.V. The pedestal also bears a tablet cast from metal reclaimed from the USS Maine, whose destruction in Havana Harbor in 1898 was the precipitating factor behind the the United States' declaration of war against Spain. |
