Nothing with Krag Rifles is easy .... two statues, by different sculptors, both called "The Hiker"!

The one most of us are familiar with is by Theodora Alice Ruggles Kitson; it appears on the dust jacket of Franklin Mallory's book, "The Krag Rifle Story".

There are at least 50 Kitson 'The Hiker' statues across the country. The original from 1906 is at the University of Minnesota.
One stands at the entry way to Arlington National Cemetery.
Michigan has Kitson's 'Hiker' at Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and at our Lansing Capitol grounds. There is a beautifully situated one at Lucas County Ohio.

The other, "The Hiker" is by Allen George Newman. The first full-size one was displayed in a temporary exhibit at the New York State Building in 1907.
There are at least 21 Newman 'Hiker' statues across the country.
The one on Detroit's Belle Isle was done in 1932. Newman also did the accompanying Sailor statue.

IMHO - Newman wins on 'realism', especially in the detail of his Krag rifle!
Newman also did a relief of the Hiker with the U.S.S. Maine in the background.
