Designed by Dragan, the sculpture was a gift from the Monessen Plant of Wheeling - Pittsburgh Steel Corporation, who also did the fabrication. The sculpture was restored in 1986 by students at the Mon Valley Area Vocational-Technical School in Speers (Pennsylvania), under the direction of George Wokaly and Mario SantaColombo. The sculpture was restored again in 1993 by Glenn Garrison. IAS files contain copies of related article from Valley Independent (Pennsylvania), Oct. 18, 1973, June 11, 1986 and Dec. 9, 1993.
