The pioneer's dream, one of a set of fifteen murals by william mark young, shown in a brochure published to accompany the ohio state exhibit at the 1933 a century of progress international exhibition (aka "chicago world's fair"). The murals were subsequently relocated to the ohio statehouse. The accompanying description reads: "our tribute is to the vision and courage of the pioneer families which left the softer life of the eastern colonies to face the dangers and hardships of the frontiers. Uncomplainingly and devotedly they stood together to win fruits which must largely go to their children and their children's children. Such a family is pictured in our first mural. Progressing from their humble cabin home we show in their vision of the future some of the present easily recognized ohio skyscrapers in cleveland. Toledo. Cincinnati and columbus. ". Date: 1933.
