.jfze Qoneer Wolffzer The Pioneer Mother, a memorial to the women who braved the hardships of the West, was sculptured by Alexander Phimister Proctor. It stands today in Penn Valley Park, not far from the spot where the Santa Fe Trail used to pass. The sculptor, in an attempt to portray the pioneer woman with importance and beauty, finally con- ceived the idea of a group including the pioneer woman on horseback, a packhorse, and two men. This biblical inscription from the book of Ruth is found on the base of the monument: Whither thou goest, I will go and where thou lodgest, I will lodge, thy people shall be my people and thy God, my God. Another inscription reads: To commemorate the pioneer mother, who with unfaltering trust in God, suffered the hardships of the. unknown west to prepare for us a homeland of peace and plenty. 5 i sr , ....-.gallant A
