1. The Price Marker
I chose to depict her at the river's edge in 1839, grief stricken as she held her two-year-old daughter Alice who went to the river to get two cups of water, fell in and drowned. As she held her lifeless child, Narcissa cried, "Thy will be done, not mine."
Another historic tragedy wrenched my heard as well when I red that Glendive's Sullivan family, along with all six of their children, drowned in the 1899 Flood when the frozen river and bridge went out.
I dedicated this sculpture in memory of the pioneer courage and sacrifices of the builders of our town and to all who have lost children.
