"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."
