I am thinking of the right statue, aren't I???? Yes, you are. I've seen the poor fellow with icicles hanging off him and his horse. I think any scout worth the name would have sense enough to wrap up in buffalo robes in winter. Maybe we should take up a collection to make sure someone clothes him in the winter in perpetuity . . . 13 degrees in KC right now. I bet you are right about the name origin. I should have thought about Pennsylvania Ave. being so close.
