memorial, fountain, equestrian statue
Beautiful monument and fountain to honor early pioneers.
Bronze equestrian statue of a buckskin-cloaked, steed-mounted, rifle-toting Kit Carson, pointing the way west to the promised land, but gazing back towards the east and the civilization he left behind. Placed on a stone column in a hexagonal fountain basin. On three sides of the basin are three reclining bronze figures:
The Hunter (Man with rifle and dog)
The Prospector
The Pioneer Mother (Woman with rifle and child)
Designed by Frederick MacMonnies, the $75,000 fountain was unveiled in 1911.
