Appeal to the great spirit

(1861–1944) created only one equestrian statue: of Paul Revere in Boston. Dallin was best known for his outstanding four-piece equestrian sculpture series called The Epic of the Indian, consisting of A Signal of Peace, in Chicago, The Medicine Man in Philadelphia, The Protest, and Appeal to the Great Spirit. The full-size plaster version of The Protest was exhibited at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, where it won a gold medal. The mounted brave defiantly shaking his fist at an enemy was never cast as a full-size bronze, and survives only in statuette form.
