The statue commemorates the 91 men who died in an underground fire at the Sunshine Mine. On May 2, 1972, a fire broke out underground at the "Sunshine." Before the day was through, 91 miners had lost their lives. The event is remembered each May 2nd with a service at the statue.”

This statue is at the Historic Wallace exit off I90 in Wallace, ID. There is a small park dedicated to both mining and the devastating Bitteroot Mountain fire of 1910.
