Shawnee just installed a 13-foot sculpture of Wild Bill Hickok. Here's the story behind it

Wild Bill Hickok was a figure in Shawnee history in the 1850s. The artwork, which was installed on Shawnee Mission Parkway and Nieman Road, depicts Hickok astride his legendary horse, Black Nell.
A 13-foot-tall sculpture of Wild Bill Hickok on his horse – created with the recommendation of Shawnee artist Charles Goslin – was installed at a prominent point along Shawnee Mission Parkway on Tuesday, just two days after Goslin’s death at age 91.

Although the original concept for the large bronze statue was put forward by Goslin two years ago, he nominated Olathe artist Maretta Kennedy to execute it.

Kennedy had worked with Goslin and other artists at local art foundries and has a particular expertise in bronze and in sculpting horses.
