''The Hiker'' is a statue made by Allen George Newman. Like Theo Alice Ruggles Kitson's statue of the same name it was created to honor the American soldiers who took "long hikes in steaming jungles" 〔 Rubenstein, Charlotte Streifer, ''American Women Sculptors: A History of Women Working in Three Dimensions'', G. K. Hall and Co. Boston, 1990 p. 104〕 during the Boxer Rebellion, the Spanish–American War and the Philippine–American War. The statue, quoted as ”The best bronze soldier in America” 〔 Taft, Lorado, ''The History of American Sculpture'', Macmillan, New York, 1925 p. 570 〕 by sculptor and critic Lorado Taft, proved to be very popular, copies of it being located in numerous cities. ==Locations== The statue has been installed in more than 20 locations. * New-York Historical Society, New York City 1904 * Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, Utica, New York, 1904 * Washington Park, Staten Island, New York, 1912 * Bayonne Park, Bayonne, New Jersey, 1912 * Utica, New York park, 1915 * Monongahela, Pennsylvania, 1915 * Tompkinsville Park, Staten Island, New York, 1916, relocated 1925 * Theodore Roosevelt Park, Buffalo, New York, 1920 * Grove Street Park, Pawtucket, Rhode Island, 1922 * Greenridge Cemetery, Saratoga Springs, New York, 1923 * Wilcox Park, Westerly, Rhode Island, 1924 * Pittsburgh, 1925 〔 Evert, Marlyn and Vernon Gay, photographs, ''Discovering Pittsburgh's Sculpture'', University of Pittsburgh Press, Pittsburgh, PA, 1983 〕 * Woonsocket, Rhode Island, 1925 * Riverside Park, Wichita, Kansas, 1926 * Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle, 1926 * Niagara Falls, New York, 1928 * Buchanan Park, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. 1931 * Belle Isle, Detroit, 1932 * Oshkosh, Wisconsin, 1939 〔 Beajer and Style, ''Public Sculpture in Wisconsin: An Atlas of Outdoor Monuments, Memorials and Masterpieces in the Badger State'', SOS!
