This statue of a proud, your, pioneer couple is a symbol of the spirit and soul of the people who made the Land Run of the Cherokee Outlet in 1893. Together with the tools of indomitable faith, boundless courage and visions of hope, they set out to build their lives from a claim of land.
The stalwart young man is the patriarch of future Oklahomas of his kind. He planted the "seeds of wisdom, strength and morality" and his harvest has been mighty.
The graceful young woman is the symbolic mother of us all, and her nurturing heart brought beauty, culture, and gfit to an untamed prairie which spelled "Home."
These are yesterday's pioneers, whose proud heritage has meaning on today's frontiers. They remind us of the spirit of renewal and adventure that is the core of our national heritage.
