Frederick S. Remington
Pony Tracks
Paperback
(Independently published Nov. 14, 2016)
Western illustrator, Frederic Remington, was a legend in his own time and left some of the most enduring images of the vanishing Old West. But he didn't just paint it and draw it—he lived it. In this marvelous collection of essays, Yale-educated Remington took on one of his favorite topics—the United States Cavalry. He rode with the pony soldiers from Montana to New Mexico and wrote about them with great humor and affection. Among the notable officers he rode with were General Nelson Miles, Colonel Guy V. Henry, and Ernest Albert Garlington, a Medal of Honor recipient. Of Henry, Remington wrote, "Henry is a flaming fire of cavalry enthusiasm." Remington visited a still-wild Yellowstone and wrote of hunting bears in the Rockys. There is no other writer who captured this time and place quite like Remington. Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the period that changed the country forever.
