His work included the bronze sculpture Cowboy in a Storm. Also included is the book "New Interpretations" by Dale A. Burk, a larger-than-life figure whose passion for Montana’s wilderness drove nearly everything he did, including his writing, which paved the way for the protection of wilderness areas in Montana and beyond. Lastly is included the catalogue of 1971 exhibition of the works of W.H.D. Koener, a noted illustrator of the American West whose works became known to new audiences when his painting, nicknamed A Charge to Keep, was used as the cover image for the ghostwritten biography by the same name by George W. Bush. This painting, which hung in the Oval Office during the Bush presidency was of special interest to journalists due to the interpretation given by Bush of the painting's meaning in light of the meaning and title attached to the painting by the artist.
