Literature

Peter H. Hassrick, Wildlife and Western Heros, Alexander Phimister Proctor, Sculptor, Forth Worth, 2003, pp 130-131, plate 16 for an example of another cast.  Hassrick notes four known examples, only one of which is in private hands.

Catalogue Note

According to Mr. Phimister Proctor Church, grandson of the artist, it is likely that this cast was created sometime after 1911, when Proctor reworked the original model and created a larger model for Herbert l. Pratt.
