Texas born sculpture, Robert Temple Summers II, was approached by the Dallas Trees and Park Foundation in 1992 to sculpt a scene depicting the story of Shawnee Trail, a trail used prior to the old Chisolm Trail. Cattle were gathered from east and west Texas, and trailed through Austin Waco, Dallas and ultimately ended in Kansas. The commission included three cowboys on horseback who are herding seventy longhorn steers. The sculptures are 130% of life-size and cover four acres in downtown Dallas.  It is the largest bronze sculpture in the world and from time to time another steer is added to the heard.
