[LM_NET] TAR: statues dedicated to fictional characters

[Beth Yount <byount@MARCELINE.K12.MO.US>]

I am taking an amazing class on Mark Twain in Hannibal, Mo.  The Museum Director 
(one of the instructors) said the statue of Tom and Huck was one of the first five 
statues in the United States devoted to fictional characters.  He is hunting 
documentation of the other four.

The statue was put in the park in Hannibal in 1935.  Can anyone supply information 
about other statues dedicated to fictional characters of that age or older?

Thank you,
Beth
