Skagway Bill in Totem Square

Bronze status of An Alaskan a prospector holding a rifle, with mining tools like a pick and shovel strapped to his backpack- striding out into the uknown.

"Skagway Bill" aka The Prospector is a bronze statue by American artist and sculptor, Alonzo Victor Lewis  (1886–1946).  

In June 2007 when I took this pic, it was in Totem Square Sitka, Alaska - near the Sitka Pioneer Home.  

Created in honour of the Alaskan pioneers, it is a depiction of local prospector, William "Skagway Bill" Fonda.

Thank you!
