From the website, "About the monument to the 42nd New York
The monument is a bronze statue of the Delaware Indian Chief Tammany standing in front of a teepee. Tammany was a friend to colonists in the early days of America and became the symbol for the powerful New York City political hall that raised the regiment.
The bronze artwork, sculpted by John J. Boyle, stands atop a ten foot high base of Quincy granite for a total height from the ground to the top of the teepee of 27 feet. Three bronze tablets on the sides and rear tell the regiment’s story, and a circular bronze Seal of the State of New York is inlaid on its front. The bronze trefoil symbol of the Second Crops is at the peak of the front just below Chief Tammany. The monument was dedicated by the State of New York on September 24, 1891."
