  • Madonna of the Trail Lexington, Missouri the Statue Is a Tribute to the Many Hundreds of Thousands of Women Who Took Part In
    Madonna of the Trail Lexington, Missouri The statue is a tribute to the many hundreds of thousands of women who took part in the Western United States Migration. Madonna of the Trail is a series of 12 identical monuments dedicated to the sprit of pioneer women in the United States. In the late 1920’s, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) commissioned the design, casting and placement of twelve memorials commemorating the spirit of pioneer women. These monuments were installed in each of 12 states along the National Old Trails Road, which extended from Cumberland, Maryland, to Upland, California. The Madonna of the Trail is depicted as a courageous pioneer woman, clasping her baby with her left arm while clutching her rifle in her right, wearing a long dress and bonnet. Her young son clings to her skirts. On Monday, September 17, 1928, The Missouri Madonna of the Trail in Lexington, Missouri, was unveiled and dedicated. Harry S. Truman, a Missouri Justice of the Peace and the President of the National Old Trails Association, was the keynote speaker at the ceremony. The ceremony was in many ways a “home-coming” for Lexington, and the streets were crowded with visitors while homes were filled with guests. Most of the visitors were former residents, relatives, and people with connections with Lexington. Many people dressed in period costume, including some eighty-plus year old “real pioneer women” who were dressed in costumes that were over 100 years old. On August 25, 1928, prior to the dedication, a copper box time capsule, filled with pictures, books, pamphlets and other miscellaneous items, was deposited in the base of the pioneer mother statue.

  • The Montgomery County Story
    The Montgomery County Story Vol. 50, No. 1 Winter 2007 Montgomery County Story In our 50th Year of Publication Topical Sununaries and Index The first Montgomery County Story was published in November 1957, and for the next fifteen years Martha Sprigg Poole served as Editor of the Montgomery County Historical Society'S quarterly. Miss Poole, a Washington, D.C. native, was active in the Historical Society's early days. She held Bachelor's and Master's degrees in history from George Washington University, and retired from McKinley Technical High School in 1951 after 24 years ofteaching in the District of Columbia public schools. After Miss Poole's death at age 82, in 1972, Mayvis Fitzsimons served as Editor until 1975. She made the switch from Roman to Arabic numbers for Story volumes, and placed a greater focus on historical research. Her tenure was cut short by a tragic automobile accident, at the age of 52. The third Editor, Mary Charlotte Crook (1975-1989), and fourth Editor, Eleanor M. V. Cook (1989-2003), both had long tenures before their respective retirements. Each had previously contributed to the Story, as well as volunteering in the Society Library. Through the years, many Library volunteers have been contributing writers. Another volunteer, Diane Broadhurst, took Martha Sprigg Poole, over as Editor in 2003. The current Story, a summary of past issues, Editor 1957-1972 was compiled by Library volunteers. The role of Story Editor often exceeds that of simply preparing authors' manuscripts. Editors also have to locate and recruit interested authors, and keep them on schedule.

Cast in a pink- ish mixture of crushed marble, Missouri granite, stone, cement, and lead ore, the stern-faced five-ton Madonna commemorates the contributions made by women on the road west. During the late 1920s, the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) erected 12 identical statues across the country as a way of locating and marking the Old Trails Road, a series of trails that connected the country’s coasts and memori- alized United States exploration and settlement. The 12 statues, sculpted and cast by August Leimbach, are located in Springfield, Ohio; Wheeling, West Virginia; Council Grove, Kansas; Lex- ington, Missouri; Lamar, Colorado; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Springerville, Arizona; Vandalia, Illinois; Richmond, Indiana; Beallsville, Pennsylvania; Upland, California; and Bethesda, Mary- land—one for every state through which the National Old Trails Road passed. Read more about this Road at www.fhwa.dot.gov/ infrastructure/trails.cfm. Harry Truman, later the 33rd President, was president of the Na- tional Old Trails Road Association at the inception of this project and urged Congress to approve the statues, at a cost of $1,000 each.

  • Harry S. Truman (1884 – 1972)
    Harry S. Truman (1884 – 1972) Harry Truman served as president of the National Old Trails Road Association from 1926 until 1948. In 1926-27, he traveled the Santa Fe Trail many times as he was tasked with determining the official route of the Old Trails Road coast to coast. His inclusion of the Santa Fe Trail within that framework was based on his studies of westward expansion, on economic impact, and on viewing original ruts and swales. Eventually the road ran coast to coast and was developed for automobile usage. Harry Truman also traveled this route several times to determine where the 12 DAR Madonna of the Trail Statues were to be placed. Madonna of the Trail is a series of 12 identical monuments dedicated to the spirit of pioneer women in the United States. The monuments were commissioned by the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR). They were installed in each of the 12 states along the National Old Trails Road, which extended from Cumberland, Maryland, to Upland, California. Harry was a lifelong enthusiast of historic routes and of American History. In his speeches, he often reminded listeners that the story of the trails is the story of our nation. His inclusion of the Santa Fe Trail in most of the National Old Trails Road route promoted its development as a continued route of transport and contributed to the development of towns along the route. References come from letters Harry Truman wrote home to his wife, letters to Frank A. Davis who was Secretary of National Old Trails Road Association, official White House papers, newspaper articles available at the Harry S Truman Library Institute, DAR archives, and from film footage and copies of his speeches.
