The statue was built on the backside of the cabin (next to the flagpole in the photo below). Since it was hidden from plain view it gave kids quite a scare when they ran around the cabin.
Recently Clothesline Revival used a black and white photo shot in the seventies for the CD cover art of their album "Of My Native Land". The title of the CD is from a chiseled quote on the base of the nearby flagpole from the poem The American Flag by Father Charles Constantine Pise(1801-1866):
THEY SAY I WOULD FORSAKE THE FLAG OF MY NATIVE LAND,
BUT WOE UNTO THE FOE OR STRANGER
WHOSE SACRILEGIOUS HAND WOULD TOUCH THEE
OR ENDANGER FLAG OF MY NATIVE LAND
