Legend of the lost Indian head

by Bill Davenport January 16, 2011

No one knows the ultimate fate of the 30-foot wooden Indian head that used to greet visitors at the Texas Travel Information center on I-30 outside Texarkana. In 1990 the massive red oak carving was brought indoors due to deterioration, and stored at the arena of the Four States Fairground for a decade, but after that, no one is sure where it went. The roadside attraction, by itinerant sculptor Peter Wolf Toth, is still on many maps,  and brings a trickle of visitors to Texarkana even now.

I have seen Smith’s photos before and enjoyed them, but this series is on a whole different level. Fantastic work!

Your sweetie is trying to decide whether to turn you in to PETA, or NAMBLA.

No, my sweetie is wishing I was a philanthropist. Personally, I’d rather be a Douwd.

Few really compare to the one, Allison V. Smith. She has a gift all her own and an eye all her own.
Bravo!
