Statue of Governor Steunenburg by atufft
Despite world fame for having lost several presidents by assassination, loss of public officials through violence is really quite rare. Even more rare is to lose a governor by assassination. Governor Steunenburg was assassinated outside his home in 1905, five years after leaving office. Within two years, a memorial committee was formed and by 1927 this life sized statue was in place. Idaho thus has a unenviable shame within its history which is memorialized by a statue directly in front of the Capitol Building. The bronze statue and commemoration plate are a substantial work, and the flowers around it plentiful, but the concrete foundation steps are cracked and in need of replacement. Hopefully, this will be done as part of the Capitol Dome restoration project, but for now there remains access to this statue. See link below for specific details regarding this memorial statue.
