Charles M. Russell,

Описание: Charles M. Russell’s New Book, More Rawhides, Is a Humorous Portrayal of Cowboy Life Told in Cowboy’s Language: Bozeman, Montana, Courier, December fourth, 1925. Montana cowboy life and the name of Charles M. Russell are almost synonymous. Having been actively associated for many years with range work in the days when the cowman reigned supreme and the range was free; having actually endured the privations, the hardships and hazards of the cowpuncher’s everyday life, the cowboy artist is one of the few survivors of the range of the 1880s.

It may be said that the old-time cowboy coined a language all his own. He found typical terms for his likes and dislikes, for the articles with which he worked. He had nicknames for his companions. His method of expression was peculiarly individual to the class to which he belonged–a lingo that was altogether unique.

Perhaps no one of the Old West has been so able to preserve the language and present it in narrative form as has Mr. Russell. And, in all of his yarns of the days that have long since passed, the Montana artist has adapted this typical everyday cowpuncher phraseology.

Mr. Russell is not only a great artist and the foremost portrayer in colors of scenes depicting the Old West, but is gifted with a sense of humor that, in itself, stamps him a genius.

He has just written a new book entitled More Rawhides, a sequel to the publication Rawhide Rawlins Stories, and which will be on sale in the course of a few days. The book contains a number of stories and more than 20 original illustrations. The humor in these yarns and the pictures which illustrate them will be the delight of thousands of Montanans, many of whom, as was the case in the first book, will recognize the characters woven into the narrative. Some of them are called by name, while others are so portrayed that their friends will rapidly recognize them.

This new Russell book will be the delight of the true Montanan, and as a memento of the romantic cattle days, it stands altogether in a class by itself, unique and different from anything ever placed in book form. Truly representative of the Montana artist, himself, it bears an unfailing appeal to all who have come to revere the name of Russell and the history of the state which is Russell’s home. The book should have a large sale.
