Sculpture was commissioned in 1967 by Judge Henry L. Scarlett through a gift of $7,500 to the Bexley Public Library in memory of his son, Campbell Scarlett. The SOS! surveyor notes that when the piece was first surveyed in 1993, the base plaque had been removed. (Thus it is not visible in the photographs in the IAS image file.) The current plaque is a replacement of the original which contained a spelling mistake. IAS files contain related articles from the Columbus Citizen Journal, Jan 3, 1969, pg. 2 and The Bexley Voice (Fall 1968): pg. 1.; and an excerpt from Bill Arter's, "Columbus Vignettes III" N.p., 1979, pg. 79.
