Sequoyah
According to the Calhoun Times, this statute was erected in Calhoun in 1927 and donated by the Calhoun Women's Club. "The statue of Cherokee Indian Sequoyah that stands at Calhoun’s Arch park has several look-alikes scattered across the country. The statue was cast from a mold at the J.L. Mott Iron Works of Trenton, N.J. Its origin dates to about 1860, when a woodcarver created a generic Native American chief for William Demuth, who sold cigar store Indians. The statue is listed as 'No. 53 Indian Chief' in an 1872 Demuth catalog. A short time later, Mott purchased this design from Demuth. A cast of lookalikes Calhoun's Sequoyah statues have identical replicas all over the country." From the Calhoun Times.
