Also see . . .  The Story Behind Iron Mike. This article by Tim Brady was published in May 2006 by the University of Minnesota Alumni Association. The original sculpture of The Hiker was dedicated to the University of Minnesota students who'd served in the Spanish-American War.
"Veterans of the Spanish-American War called themselves hikers, in the same way that World War I vets were doughboys and World War II vets were G.I. Joes. In fact, this statue, which would subsequently be recast more than 50 times and wind up in town squares and cemeteries across the nation, was given the name The Hiker in almost all of these locales, including at Arlington National Cemetery, where the monument was dedicated under that name in 1965."
