(a, two and one-half newspaper column clippings) This article is entitled "Give Tedyuscung Statue To The City". This article describes the ceremony dedicating the new statue of Tedyuscung at Indian (or Council) Rock and the presentation of the new statue to the Fairmount Park Commission. It also relates the history of this important personage to the Wissahickon. A listing of those distinguished guests who attended ends the article.
(b, bottom right) This handwritten note reads as follows:
"Tedyuscung
A duplicate of one of the four statues which adorn a public fountain in Hartford, Connecticut.
Its resemblance to the Hartford Indians is due to the fact that Massey Rhind, the New York sculptor who built those also built this one as a duplicate".Collection
