The plaque on the base of the sculpture reads in part;

Donated by the Micallef Family and CF Ranches
This monument is dedicated to all the those hardy souls who settled the Big Bend region of Texas.

The sculpture is a bronze piece on a granite base. It sits on a higher point of land so the figure looks out over the land towards the south and the Big Bend country. He leans back against his saddle which rests on the ground, his hat tilted back and one hand grasping his leg while the other rests against his chest.
