Boy With the Boot 2


STATUE OF BOY WITH A BOOT 2

The story of the little boy is not known for sure. He may have been a drummer boy in the Civil War who brought water in his leaky boot for thirsty wounded soldiers. The statue is a monument to his caring and dedication.

There are only 24 known statues of the Little Boy in the world. He is made of bronze and is now owned by the Senior Citizens of Penrose. In the Spring of 2005, he was presented to the Penrose School and has a place of honor in a glass display case at the new school.
