This statue by Veryl Goodnight depicts a young, windblown, pioneer woman looking eastward as she grips a wagon wheel pointing Westward. You can read more about it here. The statue is located in St. Joseph, Missouri. There are several of these statues in the United States.

The statue depicts part of the hardships that came with heading west. The migration west occurred during the growth of the United States. I tried to give it an effect that displays the rough days and nights on the trail.
