" He had to paint, and the Old West was his
life. More versatile was his contemporary Frederic Remington,
author of _Pony Tracks, Crooked Trails_, and other books, and
prolific illustrator of Owen Wister, Theodore Roosevelt,
Alfred Henry Lewis, and numerous other writers of the West.
Not so well known as these two, but rising in estimation, was
Charles Schreyvogle. He did not write; his best-known pictures
are reproduced in a folio entitled _My Bunkie and Others_.
Remington, Russell, and Schreyvogle all did superb sculptoring
in bronze. One of the
finest pieces of sculpture in the Southwest is "The Seven
Mustangs" by A. Phimister Proctor, in front of the Texas
Memorial Museum at Austin.
Among contemporary artists, Ross Santee and Will James (died,
1942) have illustrated their own cow country books, some of
which are listed under "Range Life" and "Horses." William R.
Leigh, author of _The Western Pony_, is a significant painter
of the range. Edward Borein of Santa Barbara, California, has
in scores of etchings and a limited amount of book
illustrations "documented" many phases of western life. Buck
Dunton of Taos illustrated also.
