Harvey W. Scott (sculpture) Harvey W. Scott (sculpture) Harvey W. Scott, or simply Harvey Scott, is a 1933 bronze sculpture by Gutzon Borglum depicting American pioneer, newspaper editor and historian Harvey W. Scott, located at Mount Tabor Park in the Mount Tabor neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. The statue is a bronze portrait of Harvey W. Scott, an American pioneer best known as the long-time editorialist of "The Oregonian", wearing a knee-length coat and with his right arm extended and pointing. It was designed by Gutzon Borglum (of Mount Rushmore fame), originally modeled in 1930, and dedicated in June 1933. Kunst Foundry served as the
Gutzon Borglum of which had never been attempted before. Many difficulties slowed progress, some because of the sheer scale involved. After finishing the detailed model of the carving, Borglum was unable to trace the figures onto the massive area on which he was working, until he developed a gigantic magic lantern to project the image onto the side of the mountain. Carving officially began on June 23, 1923, with Borglum making the first cut. At Stone Mountain he developed sympathetic connections with the reorganized Ku Klux Klan, who were major financial backers for the monument. Lee's head was unveiled on Lee's birthday
