Here are the CLIFF NOTES:
Spirit of Nebraska’s Wilderness and Pioneer Courage ParkThe Park of bronze sculptures begins with a wagon train heading west,
causing a heard of bison to stampede. The bison emerge onto Dodge Street
where they flush a flock of Canada geese. The geese take flight and conclude
with their flying into the First National Tower. Together, Pioneer Courage and Spirit of Nebraska’s Wilderness parks consist of more than 100 individual bronze pieces integrated within an urban environment that covers more than six city blocks.
