This review is from: Charlie Russell Roundup (pb): Essays on America's Favorite Cowboy Artist (Paperback)

Brian Dippie, as always, spends years of research perfecting his product. His love of writing preparing his books is not compromised by deadlines. Being a professor of U.S. History at the University of Victoria demands authenticity and knowledge! Who would believe a Canadian? The answer lies definitely here. This author is one to be believed and enjoyed.

Years of travel and study liberally doused with a love of the language mirror Charlie Russells love of nature and art but Charlie struggled with language. Dippie translates, transcribes, and transforms for the reader. A DEFINITE BUY!

This review is from: Charlie Russell Roundup: Essays on America's Favorite Cowboy Artist (Hardcover)

This is a fine book if the reader is interested in the actual "artist" Charlie Russell...I made the error in interpreting the book's descripton as to pertaining to the "times" of which CR's art was depicting.
Thinking it would be a book of essays of the "Western times" (which CR created his craft around) like the Sports Afield "Survive" book (highly recommend), I was disappointed that all but a few enteries are about the actual artist, his wife, and different articles & perceptions that have been published over time.
Nothing really new or interesting about a rather stererotypical artist & his controlling wife; the illustrations are small (B/W) and rather limited...should have included all his work. (sic)
Know what you're buying.

Mahalo,
