Pictured is a young girl running with a basket of flowers in one of the wagon trains in 'Pioneer Courage' by Blair Buswell and Edward Fraughton in Pioneer Park in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. It will connect via nine stampeding bison to 'Spirit of Nebraska's Wilderness' by Kent Ullberg in Spirit of Nebraska's Wilderness Park over five city blocks of the of the First National Bank campus. Beginning at 14th and Capitol Streets, a wagon train leaves Omaha and proceeds along a dry creek bed (Pioneer Courage). The train disturbs a nearby group of bison, causing them to stampede down 15th Street onto Dodge, where they flush a flock of geese from a nearby pond (Spirit of Nebraska's Wilderness). First National Sculpture Parks flow together from the approaching wagons to the running bison and lifting geese, forming the largest installation of bronze works of art in the country and the world.
