The"End of the Trail" sculpture is one of the most recognizable in American art. It was originally done by James Earl Fraser. It represents the Native American arriving at the Pacific ocean after being squeezed out by American expansion. The original was created in 1894, but Fraser made several revisions. A version was displayed at the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. That exposition statue is now displayed at the National Cowboy and Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.
This representation is a paper cast used for a mold in Springfield Missouri. It was created by Allen and Patty Eckman who are a husband-wife team using paper molds for their sculptures. The sculpture is now in the public domain. This is the mold used for a brass cast and is on display at Bass Pro Shop.
