Father Isaac Jogues Monument, Lake George Battlefield Park
(photo 5/7/2011)
Note the missing index finger on the statue. Not vandalism, Jogues' finger was chewed off by an Iroquois during his captivity.
Searching the internet for a date the statue was cast and placed is proving frustrating but I found a nice Adirondack Life story about Jogues and Kateri Tekakwitha. Jogues is a saint and Tekakwitha appears to be on track to sainthood.
