Pony Tracks written and illustrated by Frederic Remington, 1st part

Frederic Remington was born 1861, in Canton, New York. He attended the art school at Yale Unversity, but dropped out when his father died, and soon went to Kansas City. He married  Eva Caten in 1884 and after trying the frontier life, moved back to Brooklyn. He began to submit illustrations, sketches, and othervworks with western themes for publication.  Much of his early work appeared in Collier's and Harper's. His technical ability  meant he could reproduce the physical beauty of the west, and his insight into the heroic nature of American settlers made him possibly America's greatest western artist.

 Pony Tracks was originally published NY: Harper, 1895.
