Doing a little more research, this statue was designed by an American sculptor, Allen George Newman. The statue was called "The Hiker". Several cast bronze models were made at 9 foot, 7 foot and smaller. They can be found in many states. See the link below. And....there is one in Ypsilanti, Michigan! Anybody know somebody from there?  ;) It is at the intersection of Packard/Washtenaw and Forest Street.
