Cowboy charlie: the story of charles m. russell - jeanette winter

Young Charles Russell wanted to be a cowboy, so just two weeks shy of his sixteenth birthday, the determined Charlie boarded a train heading to the frontier.

There, in 1880, in the land of buffalo, Indians, and open prairie, Charlie found his home.

And there he became a painter-but not just any painter.

Russell is considered one of the greatest artists of the American West and one who opened its door to so many.
