It is always fun when travelling to come across an interesting attraction. We found this striking likeness of the famous Chief Tecumseh near the Wabash River levee in Vincennes, Indiana. The statue is the creation of Peter “Wolf” Toth, a Hungarian artist, and is the most recent addition (the 74th) to the “The Trail of Whispering Giants” series of statues scattered across the country.
Very cool! I’ll have to check out the “Trail of Whispering Giants.”

Do a google, you’ll see a Wikipedia article. It has a list of all 74 statues, locations and when placed. Have fun…we are!

How did I miss this? Well, that settles it! I need to go back to Vincennes one of these days.
I live near Chillicothe, Ohio and in an area that was once hunting grounds for the Shawnee. We have an outdoor drama that tells the story of Tecumseh. Visiting Vincennes and learning about Tecumseh’s connection to that area was pretty exciting for this history nerd but I don’t recall this statue.
Neat-o!

Yes! And it’s a beautiful trip. That trip took me to Vincennes for all the Red Shelton fun and some other things I could fit in. Then I went over to Jasper for a show at the Astra. It was a fantastic few days of rambling through gorgeous Indiana countryside too.
