The Incredible Trail of the Whispering Giants

It’s an incredible story – much like a fairy tale. An artist built and donated (for free) 74 gigantic wood carvings of Native Americans – one for each of the 50 states, as well as countries overseas. Guest Peter Toth calls his nearly 20-year art project The Trail of the Whispering Giants. He says he's paying homage to Native Americans for the injustices they faced from European settlers. So, where is Connecticut’s statue? A Whispering Giants website lists it as "missing," but I found it and you won’t want to miss the story.
