Lot Essay

The present bronze is a reduction of the first working model for the privately commissioned monument planned for and donated to the Plains Indian Museum, Buffalo Bill Cody Historic Center, Cody, Wyoming. Marie, a Shoshone Indian, posed for Jackson's monument depicting the Shoshone squaw who led Lewis and Clark on their explorations of North American in the early 19th century.

Sacagawea II was cast in editions of 350 patinated examples and an equal number of painted examples similar to the present bronze.
