Peter "Wolf" Toth Whispering Giants page two |
| Once I realized there are over 60 Peter Toth Whispering Giants across the land, I decided to visit as many as I can while I travel. These next five were sighted during a trip to Oquawka in July 2006. | ||||
| Next to the chamber of commerce building in Colquitt, Georgia. | ||||
|
|
||||
| Overlooking the Illinois River from a bluff at the Village of Hopewell, Illinois, this Giant boasts a plaque dedicating the statue to the citizens of Illinois on November 19, 1975. | ||||
|
|
||||
| In front of the lodge at Starved Rock State Park, near LaSalle, Illinois, the plaque signifies this as the 62nd such carving. When I first looked, he seemed to be smiling. | ||||
|
|
||||
| Just a few miles from Starved Rock Ho-Mah-Sjah-Nah-Zhee-Ga looks at the Illinois River from Allen Park in Ottawa, Illinois. This is my first time to photograph two Peter "Wolf" statues in one day. | ||||
|
|
||||
| Standing in a cluster of trees at the center of Johnston Park in Cleveland, Tennessee, this tree is difficult to see from the street. | ||||
|

In August, 2006, I was unable to
find the statue on the Seminole Indian Reservation in Hollywood, Florida. Inquiries at reservation headquarters, the casino and several retail merchants did not locate the giant. |
||||
| Looking for Kiwanis Park in Johnson City, Tennessee, we discovered there is a Kiwanis Park and a Metro Kiwanis Park. Junaluska, dedicated in 1986 is in Metro Park on Knob Creek Road. | ||||
|
|
||||
| Sequoyah was easy to find next to the Museum of the Cherokee Indian in Cherokee, North Carolina. | ||||

Peter Toth
carved a Whispering Giant in Vancouver, Washington. Asking directions
I heard, it is no longer. Clark County Historical Museum found archived pictures from 1990 and directed me to Esther Short Park. Where Silver Thaw was located I did not determine, but found some lovely roses. |
||||
|
|
||||
| At Shute Park in Hillsboro, Washington is Chief Kno-Tah, dedicated September 25, 1987. | ||||
|
|
||||
|
Lewis and Clark found the Pacific
where Astoria, Oregon lies today. Dedicated in 1987, Ikala Nawan sits beside the Columbia River on U.S. 101. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
At Murray City Park, Chief
Wasach watches traffic on State Street, U.S. Highway 89. The dedication plaque from November 23, 1985 has a Rotary Wheel on it. |
