Dallas, TX - Pioneer Park Bronze Steers

Some of the 70 bronze steers in a large sculpture in Pioneer Park in Dallas, Texas, 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. The trail passed through Austin, Waco, and Dallas until the Chisolm Trail siphoned off most of the traffic in 1867. The 70 steers and three trail riders were created by artist Robert Summers of Glen Rose, Texas. 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. Photo by Carol Highsmith.
