Indiana wrote an artist statement for each of the prints:
"Here on the highest point in the state of Indiana where the columned grave of the Hoosier poet laureate James Whitcomb Riley crowns the hill the artist looks due west toward the farthest town on the border, Terre Haute, which lies astride the National Road (Route #40) at its crossing with the Wabash River."
