Just a few shots of The Spirit of Nebraska’s Wilderness and Pioneer Courage Park - which consists of more than 120 individual bronze pieces integrated within an urban environment that covers more than six city blocks. Individual sculpture pieces are one-and-a-quarter life-size and range in weight from 400 pounds to 12,000 pounds. In total the project took 400,000 man hours or 182 man years. When walking around the area, one can see pioneers and experience what happens when their wagon train startles a heard of buffalo and creates a stampede right through the downtown buildings. That stampede, in turn flushes a flock of Canada Geese, which fly from a spectacular fountain through the 40 story First National Bank Tower.
