End of the Trail |

 | The beautiful original sculpture of "The End of the Trail" sits proudly at the entrance of the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. Although now a famous sculpture and decor theme with undoubtedly millions of replicas, its beginnings were quite misleading! The End of the Trail had a grim start, but an admirable finish.
The End of the Trail Sculpture Wins the Gold Medal
The Pan-American Exposition in San Francisco, California was held in 1915, and featured 1,500 sculptures. James Fraser was one of the participating sculptors, and created The End of the Trail for entry into the exposition. His sculpture revealed one Native American sitting on his horse with his head hanging in defeat and sorrow. The statue was made of plaster and 18 feet tall. Fraser never revealed his intentions of meaning for the sculpture, but people have speculated about its meaning for many years.
