Pioneer Mothers Honored On Mother's Day Across America
On Mother's Day May 8, prominent voices honor pioneer mothers who built the West. The piece notes Oklahoma oilman Marland's plan to sponsor a Pioneer Woman statue in Oklahoma, with a public voting exhibit and a Kansas City unveiling by Howard Vanderslice, linking frontier mothers to national history and westward expansion. It cites Herbert Kaufman and Benet’s Ballad of William Sycamore, tracing heroic motherhood from New England to the Northwest and praising mothers who sustained families through hardship, drought, and danger.
