"A sound interpreter of a stirring period and a fascinating country." -New York Times"Russell’s short stories give a colorful picture of the West and remind readers of Russell’s great talent for storytelling."-centerofthewest.org"A wonderful storyteller, his subjects were warm with life." -J. Frank Dobie, Guide to Life and Literature of the Southwest“Between the pen and the brush there is little difference but I believe the man that makes word pictures is the greater.” —Charles Russell letter to Ralph S. Kendall, November 26, 1919Cowpunchers, Native Americans, and mustangs are the heroes and villains of the short stories in Charles Russell's 1921 book "Rawhide Rawlins," describing the early days of Montana and Wyoming, with bear and buffalo also making an appearance.As Russel notes in introducing his book, "when I came to Montana, which then was a territory with no railroads, reading matter of any kind was scarce. Where there’s nothing to read, men must talk, so when they were gathered at ranches or stage stations, they amused themselves with tales of their own or others’ adventures. Many became good storytellers. I have tried to write some of these yarns as nearly as possible as they were told to me."Describing the trend for exaggeration by some in their story telling Russell explains that "the mountains and plains seemed to stimulate man’s imagination. A man in the states might have been a liar in a small way, but when he comes west he soon takes lessons from the prairies, where ranges a hundred miles away seem within touchin’ distance, streams run uphill and nature appears to lie some herself. These men weren’t vicious liars. It was love of romance, lack of reading matter and the wish to be entertainin’ that makes ’em stretch facts and invent yarns." About the author: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. The C. M. Russell Museum Complex located in Great Falls, Montana, houses more than 2,000 Russell artworks, personal objects, and artifacts. Other major collections are held at the Montana Historical Society in Helena, Montana, the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas, and the Sid Richardson Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.Russell's mural titled Lewis and Clark Meeting the Flathead Indians hangs in the state capitol building in Helena, Montana. Russell's 1918 painting Piegans sold for $5.6 million at a 2005 auction.

Excerpt from Rawhide Rawlins StoriesWhen I came to Montana, which then was a territory with no railroads, reading matter of any kind was scarce. Where there's nothing to read, men must talk, so when they were gathered at ranches or stage stations, they amused themselves with tales of their own or others adventures.
