Range Rider of the Yellowstone
"A Range Rider of the Yellowstone" was made from life and posed by William S. Hart and his horse. It was donated to the city of Billings by Mr. Hart and was dedicated July 4, 1927, the 45th anniversary of the founding of the city.

The figure expressed by Mr. Hart as "a symbol of the old cattle days of the valley of the Yellowstone," looks with far-reaching eye over the country made famous by the Fort Dodge Trail, the Texas Trail days and the extensive cattle ranching operations which followed them.
