Parma, Idaho: Statue of Bigfoot, Vengeful Native

It took 16 bullets to kill the 7-foot-tall "Bigfoot" Starr Wilkinson, who robbed and killed pioneers. The concrete statue and memorial, dedicated by Idaho's governor on August 22, 1974, stands at a replica of Old Fort Boise. Bigfoot's name came from his large feet, not his resemblance to a hairy monster.
