Notes
In a letter written to Ben Storey on January 27, 1965, Manship wrote: "I have recently made a sketch as the result of getting out a copy of Longfellow and re-reading a passage of Hiawatha. It is of the old grandfather, Mudjekeewis, the West Wind, who stole the sacred belt of Wampum from the neck of Mishe-Mokwa, the Great Bear of the Mountains--the bear is droopy coming out of hibernation and from a cloud comes the mighty Mudjekeewis to steal the belt--This works well in the sculptural composition which I have done at small size in wax and is now being translated into metal---but would it not be appropriate for your group to stand at heroic size over-looking the mighty river--from where the Indian Mounds rise?"

Notes
Advertised as the "world's largest sundial," the original forty-eight foot high sculpture was situated on Constitution Mall in New York City during the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair. The sundial was commissioned specifically for the fair. It was made of staff, a type of plaster, and was later destroyed. In addition to this study, Manship created a smaller bronze version in 1939 that is now in the Brookgreen Garden's collection of figurative sculpture in South Carolina.

Notes
In a letter to his brother Luther in 1925, Manship described his plan for Indian Hunter and His Dog: "I have decided to make an Indian hunter, with his dog, running—in bronze, life size. This will be the central motif in the basin, 22 feet in diameter, with four bronze geese set between the central group and the rim of the basin, which will spout water into the air; something like this." He then included this sketch of the sculpture in his letter.

Two life size casts were made of the Indian Hunter and His Dog. One is in Saint Paul, the other in Vaucresson, France. The public sculpture was commissioned by Thomas Cochran, Jr. in memory of his father and placed in Cochran Memorial Park in Saint Paul. There exist at least six small versions of Indian Hunter and His Dog in private collections.
