Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Russell writes easily, and in the vernacular. He tells of Indians and Indian fighters, buffalo hunts, bad men, wolves, wild horses, tough hotels, drinking customs, and hard-riding cowboys. . . . [He] lived long enough in the West to acquire a vast amount of information and lore, and he has left enough from his brush to prove his place as a sound interpreter of a stirring period and a fascinating country".-New York Times. "Russell was the greatest painter who ever painted a range man, a range cow, a range horse, or a Plains Indian. He savvied the cow, the grass, the blizzard, the drought, the wolf, the young puncher in love with his own shadow, the old waddie remembering rides and thirsts of far away and long ago. He was a wonderful storyteller. . . . His subjects were warm with life, whether awake or asleep, at a particular instant, under particular conditions. Trails Plowed Under, prodigally illustrated, is a collection of yarns and ancedotes saturated with humor and humanity".-J. Frank Dobie, Guide to Life and Literature of the Southwest. Brian W. Dippie is a professor of history at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, and the author of Catlin and His Contemporaries: The Politics of Patronage (Nebraska 1990).
Book Synopsis Charles M. Russell by : John Taliaferro
Download or read book Charles M. Russell written by John Taliaferro and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first comprehensive biography of Charles M. Russell examines the colorful life and times of Montana’s famed Cowboy Artist. Born to an affluent St. Louis family in 1864, young Russell read thrilling tales of the West and filled sketchbooks with imagined frontier scenes. At sixteen he left home and headed west to become a cowboy. In Montana Territory he consorted with cowpunchers, Indians, preachers, saloon keepers, and prostitutes, while celebrating the waning American frontier’s glory days in some 4,000 paintings, watercolors, drawings, and sculptures. Before his death in 1926, Russell saw the world change dramatically, and the West he loved passed into legend. By then he was revered as one of the country’s ranking Western artist with works displayed in the finest galleries, his romantic vision of the Old West forever shaping our own. Taliaferro reveals the man behind the myth in his multifaceted complexity: extraordinarily gifted, self-effacing, charming, mischievous, and playful, a friend to rough frontier denizens and Hollywood stars alike. The author also explores Russell’s controversial partnership with his fiery young wife, Nancy, whose ambition and business savvy helped establish Russell as one of America’s most popular artists.

Book Synopsis We Pointed Them North by : E.C. "Teddy Blue" Abbott
Download or read book We Pointed Them North written by E.C. "Teddy Blue" Abbott and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. C. Abbott was a cowboy in the great days of the 1870's and 1880's. He came up the trail to Montana from Texas with the long-horned herds which were to stock the northern ranges; he punched cows in Montana when there wasn't a fence in the territory; and he married a daughter of Granville Stuart, the famous early-day stockman and Montana pioneer. For more than fifty years he was known to cowmen from Texas to Alberta as "Teddy Blue." This is his story, as told to Helena Huntington Smith, who says that the book is "all Teddy Blue. My part was to keep out of the way and not mess it up by being literary.... Because the cowboy flourished in the middle of the Victorian age, which is certainly a funny paradox, no realistic picture of him was ever drawn in his own day. Here is a self-portrait by a cowboy which is full and honest." And Teddy Blue himself says, "Other old-timers have told all about stampedes and swimming rivers and what a terrible time we had, but they never put in any of the fun, and fun was at least half of it." So here it is—the cowboy classic, with the "terrible" times and the "fun" which have entertained readers everywhere. First published in 1939, We Pointed Them North has been brought back into print by the University of Oklahoma Press in completely new format, with drawings by Nick Eggenhofer, and with the full, original text.

Book Synopsis Remington & Russell and the Art of the American West by : Kate F. Jennings
Download or read book Remington & Russell and the Art of the American West written by Kate F. Jennings and published by Smithmark Publishers. This book was released on 1993 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For most of us, the art of the American West is epitomized in the work of two gifted turn-of-the-century artists: Frederic Remington and Charles Russell. Indeed, the way they jointly imagined the semi-legendary Old west to have been has now become the way we imagine it: the images of the Old West that we see today in films, in book and magazine illustrations, in retrospective paintings and sculpture, even in the theater of our own minds, are all in some degree beholden to images crystallized nearly 100 years ago by these two men. The term "crystallized" is, however, important, for Remington and Russel obviously invented neither the West nor the art that depicted it. Artists -- some of great distinction -- had been producing images of the West for a full century before Remington and Russell appeared on the scene, and Remington and Russell, for all their skill and innovative brilliance, worked within an already established tradition. They may have produced some of the most memorable expressions of that tradition, but they never broke with it. Nor have most of today's Western artists really broken with it. Even works as original and personal as the masterly paintings of Georgia O"Keeffe are strewn with such familiar elements of Western imagery as sun-bleached antelope skulls, barren, eroded hills, and stark adobe walls. If the intentions of Western artists have been as various as idioms in which they have addressed us, for 200 years the great traditions of Western art have nevertheless given their works both a common grammar and a special resonance. In this handsome portfolio of western painting and sculpture since the 1820s, author Kate F. Jennings well illustrates the continuities that underlie the seeming diversity of Western art. And by focusing in particular on Remington and Russell, she allows us to see their work in its true context -- as an especially brilliant link in what amounts to an unbroken chain, as a novel and imaginative summation of all that had gone before and a startlingly potent influence on all that would follow."--Publisher's description

Book Synopsis Charles M. Russell by : Raphael James Cristy
Download or read book Charles M. Russell written by Raphael James Cristy and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well known for his sketches, paintings, and sculptures of the Old West, Charles M. Russell (1864-1926) was also an accomplished author in the humorous genre known as "local color." Raphael Cristy sorts Russell's writings into four general categories: serious Indian stories, men encountering wildlife, cattle range characters, and nineteenth-century westerners facing twentieth-century challenges. Russell's art is often misinterpreted as mere longing for a fading open-range west, but his writings tell a different story. Cristy shows how Russell amused his peers with stories that also delivered sharp observations of Euro-American suppression of Indians and humorous treatment of wilderness and range issues plus the emergence of women and urbanization as bewildering agents of change in the modern West. "A welcome departure from the usual biographies and coffee table volumes on Russell and his art. . . . [Cristy] deals with an important, yet relatively unexplored, aspect of the career of one of the most influential interpreters of the American West."--Byron Price, Director, C. M. Russell Center for the Study of Art

Download or read book Chip of the Flying U written by B M Bower and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The weekly mail had just arrived at the Flying U ranch. Shorty, who had made the trip to Dry Lake on horseback that afternoon, tossed the bundle to the "Old Man" and was halfway to the stable when he was called back peremptorily. "Shorty! O-h-h, Shorty! Hi!" Shorty kicked his steaming horse in the ribs and swung round in the path, bringing up before the porch with a jerk. "Where's this letter been?" demanded the Old Man, with some excitement. James G. Whitmore, cattleman, would have been greatly surprised had he known that his cowboys were in the habit of calling him the Old Man behind his back. James G. Whitmore did not consider himself old, though he was constrained to admit, after several hours in the saddle, that rheumatism had searched him out-because of his fourteen years of roughing it, he said. Also, there was a place on the crown of his head where the hair was thin, and growing thinner every day of his life, though he did not realize it. The thin spot showed now as he stood in the path, waving a square envelope aloft before Shorty, who regarded it with supreme indifference.

He arrived in Montana not to seek his fortune but to share the lives of the mountain men, cowboys, and wranglers whose exploits had filled his imagination as a boy. In the years that followed he found his niche in the cattle kingdom, working as a wrangler, joining his fellow cowboys on the roundup and for his own pleasure and that of his friends--chronicling in paint, ink, and watercolor the West and its people.
