Title supplied by cataloger. Photograph of one section of the Fort Moore Pioneer Memorial, located on the west side of Hill Street, south of Cesar Chavez Avenue. This view shows a 68-foot high concrete pylon with a 16-foot terra-cotta bas-relief American eagle, designed by noted sculptor Albert Stewart. Below that an inscription reads: "Fort Moore Pioneer Memorial - To the brave men and women who with trust in God faced privation and death in extending the frontiers of our country to include this land of promise." Groundbreaking for the memorial took place on July 13, 1953 and was completed in 1957 at a cost of $373,887.00. Note that the flag to the right of the monument is at half-staff.
