The Pioneer, Bronze sculpture at University of Oregon, Eugene, US
The Pioneer sculpture stands as a bronze figure depicting a male settler with determined posture, wearing period-appropriate clothing from the 1800s.
Alexander Phimister Proctor completed this monumental work in 1918 after establishing his reputation through successful exhibitions at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
The statue represents the determination of early settlers who traveled across North America to establish new communities in the western territories.
Located on the University of Oregon campus near 13th Avenue, the statue serves as a reference point for students navigating between academic buildings.
The sculptor incorporated specific anatomical details learned from his experiences as a hunter and naturalist in the American West.
