| Sundown, washed and dressed up |
Sundown is a half-breed, and his stories are almost all about his dealing with Indians. John Ermine is a white man raised by Indians who signs on as a scout for the cavalry.
I'll include some of the illustrations when I post the reviews, but here is a whole set for fans of Remington.
 |
| Bullets kicked up the dust. |
 |
| A tremendous bang roared around the room. |
 |
| The ponies save Little Weasel from the wolves. |
 |
| Sundown (in hat) wagers for the wife of a chief |
 |
| A duel with spears to settle a dispute |
 |
| A former gambling partner gets away riding under a box car. |
 |
| A spirit guides Sundown through the winter cold. |
 |
| Sundown observes a gathering of gamblers |
 |
| "Un I was yell terrible." |
 |
| "We come long slow through the mountain." |
 |
| "I says you go down this canyon." |
 |
| Chased by other Indians, the chief rides off on a red horse. |
 |
| The mystery of the thunder. |
 |
| The going of the medicine horse. |
I especially like the one titled "Bullets kicked up the dust". I have a replica bronze of Remington's "Coming through the Rye" showing 4 cowboys riding and firing their pistols. It fits in the room where I watch most of my western dvds.
ReplyDeleteI like Charles Russell alot also and I hope you can show some of his art soon.
I love his work, his Bronzes are fantastic.I have a couple of prints of his work. They`ll have to do, cant afford the real stuff!
ReplyDeleteThe titles or captions for his illustrations are always interesting too. These could tell a little story in their own right.
ReplyDeleteHis work is so important to western writers. And I also did a post awhile back: http://davidcranmer.blogspot.com/2010/04/fridays-forgotten-books-illustrations.html
ReplyDeleteI second Mr. Gramlich's comment.
Great illustrations! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. And a strong influence on our own Bob Boze Bell of True West magazine. If you're not familiar with Bell's work, do seek it out (in the mag and his books).
