“The Nations of the West” (popularly called “The
Pioneers”), designed by A. Stirling Calder and modeled by
Mr. Calder, F.G.R. Roth, and Leo Lentelli, topped the Arch
of the Setting Sun at the Panama-Pacific Exposition held at
San Francisco in 1915. Facing the Court of the Universe
moves a group of men and women typical of those who have
made our civilization. From left to right appear the
French-Canadian, the Alaskan, the Latin-American, the
German, the Italian, the Anglo-American, and the American
Indian, squaw and warrior. In the place of honor in the
center of the group, standing between the oxen on the tongue
of the prairie schooner, is a figure, beautiful and almost
girlish, but strong, dignified, and womanly, the Mother of
To-morrow. Above the group rides the Spirit of Enterprise,
flanked right and left by the Hopes of the Future in the
person of two boys. The group as a whole is beautifully
symbolic of the westward march of American civilization.
