Steve Canyon statue

Picture
Colorado Blvd. and Miner St., Idaho Springs, Colorado

Dedicated to all men and women who served the United States in uniform, this statue is not of an actual man or woman who served the United States in uniform, but in fact a fictional man who served in a fictional uniform in the funny pages, Steve Canyon. Written and illustrated by Milton Caniff from 1947 to 1988, Steve Canyon was memorialized by Idaho Springs in the form of a limestone likeness statue commissioned by the local chamber of commerce in 1950 to drum up publicity for the mountain-gateway town.
