dc.description	Through the years, the landmark statue in Irving Park as been called Hobb's Indian, Hobb's Folly, Chief Hole-in-the-Head, Irving, the Battle Creek Indian Statue and Old Sandy. For 50 years, the statue stood in McCamly Park but was moved in 1965 to Irving Park. In 1977, Sandy Byrd, then a summer employee for Battle Creek parks, restored the statue's faded glory with a coat of paint. The statue is pictured and described in "Chief Kisco and His Brothers," a booklet published by Mount Kisco (N.Y.) Historical Society that depicts Indian statues in about 20 locations. The statue and its history — it was repeatedly vandalized and sometimes kidnapped over the decades — is recounted in the March 28, 2013, Battle Creek Enquirer.	en_US
