Description
Known by most as the gold man the statue is named "Oregon Pioneer."
The statue rests on top of the Oregon State capital building. This is the third capital building, the others had to be rebuilt after disasters. Pieces of the columns from the other capital buildings are placed on the grounds around the building.
"The pioneer depicted holds a splitting axe in his right hand with the blade end facing the ground. In the other hand is a tarp, as according to the artist the pioneer was planning on building a shelter. The pioneer also has a beard and looks to the west while facing north. The capitol conducts tours that include trips to the base of the statue." quoted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Pioneer_%28statue%29
