"The Eagle", Roscoe Conkling Park, Utica, New York, September 2021 Standing on a high ridge at Roscoe Conkling Park with a commanding view over the downtown skyline of Utica, New York is the city's arguably best-known piece of public art: <i>The Eagle</i>, a six-foot bronze statue of the titular bird sculpted in 1923 by noted artist Charles Keck. A pair of bronze plaques embedded in the marble pedestal relate that the monument was dedicated in memory of prominent hotelier, industrialist and politico Thomas Redfield Proctor (1844-1920), describe Proctor as &quot;an incorruptible citizen and a pure patriot&quot; who, &quot;if asked what he wished in reward for any good public deed... answered 'I want nothing'&quot;, and relate the incident in his life that inspired the statue: gifted a caged bald eagle one Fourth of July, he ascended to the roof on Bagg's Hotel, which he owned, and freed the bird. Proctor, too, died on the Fourth of July &quot;and went the way the bird did, seeking his native element and the true father of his country&quot;. Another plaque on a different face of the pedestal quotes from the Book of Sirach: &quot;And some there be, which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though they had never been born; and their children after them... their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.&quot;
