Some of the 70 bronze steers in a large sculpture in Pioneer Park in Dallas that commemorates nineteenth-century cattle drives that took place along the Shawnee Trail, the earliest and easternmost route by which Texas longhorn cattle were taken to northern railheads.
Each steer is larger-than-life at six feet high; altogether the sculpture is the largest bronze monument of its kind in the world. Set along an artificial ridge and past a manmade limestone cliff, native landscaping with a flowing stream and waterfall help create the dramatic effect. Original image from Carol M.
