LOU SHATTUCK 1892-1978

Born to parents who arrived in the valley by covered wagon Lou Shattuck grew up in Toppenish. He loved horses and at age 15 was driving a stage coach. Famous for his six horse hitch, he won many gold medals, blue ribbons, and cash prizes. Lou helped organized the Toppenish Pow Wow and Junior Livestock Show. His brand, the "horseshoe" is still famous in the Northwest. This mural was painted by Don Grey from Flagstaff, AZ. This is the second for the Toppenish Mural Society, October 1994.
