Message from Peter Toth:
"St Stephan, King of Hungary:
June 2008, I finished statue #73. This is a very important statue
to me, as it is my first one on the European Continent. St Stephan
was the first King of Hungary, around 1000 AD, and he introduced
Christianity to the country. If not for him, there would be no Hungary
today." It is located about 20 miles from Budapest, in the
town of Delegyhaza. It is in a Park dedicated to King Stephan, adjacent
to the Post Office."
At this time in my life, I have completed my tributes to the indigenous people of North America, specifically the Native Americans. It is now my calling to provide memorials to the indigenous people of the World. Presently I am engaged in creating replacement statues in various States as well as reconditioning others. However, the World will still remain in my plans for the future.

- It is my understanding that the statue was to be installed at a Cherokee Indian Trading Post, but it was never installed due to damage. No one seems to know what happened to it. If anybody knows anything about it, please contact me and I will post it so everyone will know.
