Scott’s Piece Description
“Joseph….I sure do miss ya! We all do…..”
“There’s a kid who drifted in and hired on with the ‘ole man. He’s green, but has the makin’s of a real hand. I gave him your saddle – didn’t think you’d mind. Damn cock sure of hisself – reminds me of you – when you were comin’ up.”
“Jenny shore was tore up about losing you. She cried for days. Last I heard, she went back East to visit an aunt.”
“We’re bringing up over three-thousand head this trip. Goin’ real slow and gentle like, as there’s a lot of yearlin’s in the bunch.”
“I miss your jokes Joseph! You had a way of makin’ a body feel at ease.”
“Just so’s you know…them boys what tried to take the herd…you laid out two of them that night…and the rest….ain’t a one of ‘em breathing God’s clean air!”
“Ya done good Joseph, ya done good!”

Curator Review
In this moving tribute, Scott Rogers captures the quiet weight of grief borne on the open range. A cowboy pauses by a simple grave, hat in hand, his pack horse standing respectfully close behind. The moment is one of reflection—not just on loss, but on loyalty, memory, and the bonds forged by shared hardship.
The sculptural composition invites the viewer into the cowboy’s inner dialogue. The tilt of the head, the gentle grasp on the reins, and the carefully placed wooden cross all speak of reverence and emotional restraint. Rogers doesn’t sensationalize sorrow; instead, he honors it with subtlety and grace.
The piece resonates with anyone who’s ever stood at a graveside, unsure what to say but needing to say something. The foliage around the grave hints at the passing seasons, reminding us that life presses forward—but some places, and some people, are never truly left behind.
A masterclass in storytelling through form and texture, this sculpture reminds us that the West was not just built on grit and action—it was built on remembrance.
