Featured in this lot is this framed print of Curley, a Crow Indian scout, done by Edgar Samuel Paxson and an E.S. Paxson book titled, "E.S. Paxson Frontier Artist" by William Edgar Paxson Jr. circa 1984. Edgar Samuel Paxson (1852 – 1919) was an American frontier painter, scout, soldier, and writer, who lived in Deer Lodge, Montana. In 1912, Paxson was commissioned to paint eight murals in the Missoula, Montana county courthouse. The murals took 16 months to complete, and still stand in the entrance hall where they were originally placed. The subjects include Sacajawea and the journey of Lewis and Clark. He also created six scenes depicting significant events in early Montana history for the House of Representatives Lobby in the Montana State Capitol. The print shows a portrait of Curley, a Crow Indian scout and the last survivor of the Custer massacre who carried the news of the battle to a steam train named Far West. The piece is set in a wood frame and is matted once with dark blue matting paper. The piece shows good condition overall with slight wear present to the frame from its age and use over the years, but no signs of major damage is noted. The visible art measures 13 1/2" L x 10 3/8" W, while the entire piece measures 19 1/8" L x 15 1/8" W x 1 1/4" D. The book measures 12 1/2" L x 9 1/8" W x 3/4" D. They have a collective weight of 5 pounds and 12 ounces.
