Distant Thunder by Michael Coleman

Distant Thunder, By Michael Coleman.

Pretty cool, last year marked the 150 year anniversary of the Golden Spike at Promontory Point in Utah. Where on May 10, 1869, the Union Pacific Railroad from the East and the Central Pacific Railroad from the West joined together with a spike on a summit north of the Great Salt Lake. With each blow, a letter was tapped into the first transcontinental telegraph. D-O-N-E. Done. And celebrations erupted on both coasts, as well as on Promontory Summit.
My father Micheal Coleman was commissioned by Naoma Tate to help commemorate this historic date! Below is the article and a photographic record from beginning to end of the fantastic Bison my sculpted with his bare hands!
