Taft's 42 Foot Black Hawk Statue Near Oregon Ill Nears Completion
Sculptor Lorado Taft explains the 42 foot high cement monument on Hagle's Nest above Rock River, Oregon. He denies portraying Black Hawk specifically, calling the figure a composite inspired by the valley and a natural tribute to an old inhabitant, with construction using cement poured from the base and protected until hardened. The project, three summers in the making, rises 290 feet above the river and presents challenges such as lifting water 250 feet to the statue summit.
