"Commemorative stele of polished and buffed red granite with life-size etching of Comanche Chief Quanah Parker in the center. He stands in full Indian regalia with a moon and bald eagle in flight as a backdrop to his head. The stele includes a brief biography of the Indian leader and text of the blessing he gave the town in 1890. The stele is set on a concrete walkway with an adjacent walkway of 104 granite blocks inscribed with the names of sponsors."
