Unveiled in 1954, "Big John" was 32 feet tall, and was built by John Barker, who stood him in front of his Honest John's gift shop and gas station. Five years later he moved the statue and his business a few blocks away, and in 1971 he sold both to Pratt's BBQ Barn restaurant.
I remember as a young man this Indian was along side the old Bristol Highway outside of Kingsport,Tn. Upon being sold to Pratt's Barn in Kingsport, I frequented the eatery many, many times. Unfortunately, it was damaged a few years ago and was removed.
