" Figure of a pioneer woman striding forward. She wears a jacket, a long skirt, and boots. Her left arm is bent so that her left hand rests on her heart.

Text:
Marking a trail in a pathless wilderness, pressing/forward with unswerving courage, she met each untried/situation with a resourcefulness equal to the need./With a glad heart she brought to her frontier family her/homeland's cultural heritage. With delicate spiritual/sensitiveness she illuminated the dullness of routine and/loneliness of isolation with beauty and with life/abundant. And withal, she lived with casual unawareness/of her value to civilization. Such was the pioneer/woman, the unsung saint of the nation's immortals."
