'Indian Scout' statue photograph   Save
OARBAC Spirit of Ohio Bicentennial Photo Contest Collection
Description: This photograph shows a sculpture titled "Indian Scout" located outside the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. The sculpture was created by John Massey Rhind, a Scottish-American sculptor most well known for his statue of Dr. Crawford W. Long, now located in the National Statuary Hall Collection in Washington D.C. The image was submitted by photographer Donna Copen of Columbus, Ohio, in the professional category Spirit of Ohio Bicentennial Photo Contest. In August 1976, the Ohio American Revolution Bicentennial Advisory Committee (OARBAC) began the Spirit of Ohio Bicentennial Photo Contest as part of a larger effort in Ohio to celebrate the 1976 American Bicentennial. The contest was meant to document "the spirit and character of the people and places which represent Ohio during [the] bicentennial year," and to create a permanent photographic archive of the year's festivity for use by future researchers. Both professional and amateur photographers submitted over 500 photographs for consideration, all taken within the state between January 1 and December 31, 1976. View on Ohio Memory.
