Caption: The Holcombe Indian Plaque
Additional Description: On April 23, 1885, Luke Lyons found a pine log to carve this Indian - a symbol of this area of Wisconsin. With two yoke of four oxen Lyons and Eugene JuVette dragged it to the Holcombe dam site. Using an axe, drawshave and a pocket knife, Lyons created this creditable likeness of an Indian brave. As a symbol through the years, this brave has been the guardian spirit of loggers and of the Chippewa River.
