This sculpture, located across from Johnson Hall, was dedicated
with great ceremony in May 1919. The sculptor, Alexander Phimister Proctor
(1862-1950), used a trapper from near Burns, Oregon, as his model. The
1918 bronze statue, mounted on a base of McKenzie River basalt, was a
gift of Joseph N. Teal, Portland attorney.
