According to a March 1986 Fact Sheet from the Boy Scouts of America (on file in IAS), the idea for the project originated with Jack Whitaker, then Scout Commissioner of the Kansas City Area Council. The copper statues were manufactured by Friedley-Voshardt Co. (Chicago, IL) and purchased through the Kansas City Boy Scouts office. The sculpture was a gift to the city from local Boy Scout troops to mark Kenosha's 100th anniversary as an incorporated city. For additional information see: Kenosha Evening News, June 14, 1950.
