James Earle Fraser: The American Heritage in From the James Earle Fraser Estate, Syracuse University Art Collection with an essay by Alfred T. Collette and Donald M. Lantzy, an introduction by Fred Meyers, and a foreword by Domenic Iacono.
This book was published as an exhibition catalog for a January 12-April 21, 1985 exhibition at the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma. James Earle Fraser is an American sculptor whose name is seldom associated with the many outstanding public monuments and other works he created which are seen every day by millions of people in Washington, D.C., New York City, and other American cities. His name, if known at all, is likely to be attached to his masterpiece "The End of the Trail," a sculpture now regarded as an American icon which portrays a weary, defeated, and exhausted Native American brave on a horse in the same condition. Fraser also created the iconic Buffalo Nickel design, though he is seldom associated with this famous work. This exhibition and publication are an attempt to undo Fraser's anonymity.
