This 35-foot tall American Indian sculpture stands proudly outside the Doniphan County Courthouse. The burr oak carving by Peter Toth was completed in 1978. It was Dedicated September 29, 1979 and is still in excellent condition.

Peter Toth is a Hungarian emigrant whose family escaped from Hungary just before the Communist takeover in 1956. He was 9 years old. In the US, he developed a strong empathy for American Indians, possibly because of his own experience with oppression. In 1968, the 21 year old Toth began a series of sculptures to honor the American Indian. The first, in California, was sculpted from stone. Over the next 21 years, he sculpted 66 more memorials, at least one in every state, all of wood. For his efforts, he has been given the Indian name "Wolf".
