According to the Oklahoma Historical Society, End of the Trail was "created by American-born sculptor James Earle Fraser (1876–1953), End of the Trail, a representation of an American Indian on horseback, has endured to become one of the most recognizable images in the United States. Fraser was born in Winona, Minnesota, and spent much of his childhood growing up on the Great Plains in Mitchell, South Dakota. The family later moved to Chicago, and Fraser attended the Art Institute. In 1893 Fraser assisted with installations at the World's Colombian Exposition (World's Fair) in Chicago. Inspired by numerous exhibits depicting the American Indian and by his childhood memories, he created the original bronze version of End of the Trail in 1894." Many versions of his work are on display including at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. You can capture its legacy by wearing these vintage button covers.
