Notes:
“Pioneers” is the title that appears in the 1920 Knoedler Gallery Kent exhibition leaflet (#15) and period exhibition reviews. An alternate title of “Into the Sun” is thought to predate its gift to the college museum in 1957 (accession #1957.126). The original title, “Pioneers,” has since been reinstated.
