5.0 out of 5 stars
Rid along with Remington out West while reading this book,
By Debra Schalbert (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frederic Remington's Own West. The Great Western Artist's Eyewitness Accounts of His Expeditions and Adventures on the Frontier (Hardcover)
Requisites to purchase this must be eagerness for adventure, reverence for those who work, and serve in the saddle and an admiration of nature in ways only found in the desolate desert plains! Although Remington did not relish interviews- He stated "write about my work, not about me", I found his humor, his honest, upright and charming character to show thru in this collection of stories. Rare is the book that describes a day/trek with the 10th Regiment. Rare is the book that fully supplies descriptions of everything from dust coated apparel, to diamond hitched supplies on the pack horse. It is common to read about new/old cars/, antique cars, but when was the last time you read about the magnificent qualities of the horses and ponies whose footing, horse sense, were found to be totaly trustworthy when faced with danger? Stories of round ups, stories of cowboys rounding up cattle during a thunderstorm at night, leave me in awe of the astounding life of a cowboy.
