A collection of paintings and illustrations of the Old American West by Frederic Sackrider Remington (1861-1909). "No single person has been more influential in how that era is portrayed than Frederic Remington who captured its spirit in over 3,000 paintings and drawings and 25 bronze sculptures. Using his considerable artistic skills, Remington could bring the reckless cowboy, the ruthless soldier, and the 'savage' Indian to life. Throughout his career, Remington received critical and popular acclaim, and today his art is equally beloved as a reminder of the people who lived in the harsh, but exciting, West."
