The beauty and variety of the American experience through the work of these great artists. With stunning full-color plates, additional black-and-white illustrations, and concise, authoritative text, these unique, beautifully produced studies present the life, work and achievements of two of America's premier Old West artists. Charles Marion Russell (1864 – 1926) also known as C. M. Russell, Charlie Russell, and "Kid" Russell, was an artist of the Old American West. Russell created more than 2,000 paintings of cowboys, Indians, and landscapes set in the Western United States and in Alberta, Canada, in addition to bronze sculptures. Known as 'the cowboy artist', Russell was also a storyteller and author. Remington is arguably one of the most influential Western artists who ever lived. Frederic Sackrider Remington (1861-1909) was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in the genre of Western American Art. His works are known for depicting the Western United States in the last quarter of the 19th century and featuring such images as cowboys, Native American Indians, and the US Cavalry.

Original illustrated dust jackets and original illustrated slipcase are in very nice conditions. Books in slipcase measure 10.75"W x 15"L x 1.25"D
