Charles M. Russell – författare

'Russell writes easily, and in the vernacular. He tells of Indians and Indian fighters, buffalo hunts, bad men, wolves, wild horses, tough hotels, drinking customs, and hard-riding cowboys...[He] lived long enough in the West to acquire a vast amount of information and lore, and he has left enough from his brush to prove his place as a sound interpreter of a stirring period and a fascinating country' - "New York Times". 'Russell was the greatest painter who ever painted a range man, a range cow, a range horse, or a Plains Indian. He savvied the cow, the grass, the blizzard, the drought, the wolf, the young puncher in love with his own shadow, the old waddie remembering rides and thirsts of far away and long ago. He was a wonderful storyteller...His subjects were warm with life, whether awake or asleep, at a particular instant, under particular conditions."Trails Plowed Under", prodigally illustrated, is a collection of yarns and ancedotes saturated with humor and humanity' - J. Frank Dobie, "Guide to Life and Literature of the Southwest". Brian W.Dippie is a professor of history at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, and the author of "Catlin and His Contemporaries: The Politics of Patronage" (Nebraska 1990).
