| FOUNTAIN OF THE PIONEERS in Bronson park designed by Alfonso Iannelli of Chicago and built in 1939. The statue was a subject controversy since it purports to represent the Native American removal to Iowa. At the statue's 1940 unveiling, Iannelli said it depicted the "advance of the pioneers'' and the Indian was shown in "a posture of noble resistance, yet being absorbed as the white man advances.'' |
