From Library Journal
This new work on the quintessential Cowboy Artist comes with impeccable credentials. Its author directs the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, and the volume he has produced is in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art's "Library of American Art" series. As one would expect, the 100-plus illustrations--including 52 color plates--steal the show. The text is heavily biographical, with critical analysis secondary. Recommended as an introduction to Russell along with two other recent titles: Brian Dippie's Looking at Russell (Amon Carter, 1987) and Ginger Renner's A Limitless Sky: The Work of Charles M. Russell (Northland, 1986).
