A Happy Birthday gift to Fierce-Horse!

"He should have been born in days of yore" - '74 USMA Yearbook

________________________________________________________________________________


"Back-trailing on the Old Frontiers" articles from 1922 newspapers - with drawings by Charles M. Russell - plus other related western history news items (in italics).
Note - "William W. Cheely and HP Raban formed a partnership and wrote a series of 52 stories, which were syndicated in Sunday editions of newspapers from coast to coast, some 70 of them.
These appeared under the general heading of "Back-trailing on the Old Frontiers..." - Paintings, watercolors, bronzes, illustrated letters, books and ephemera, Charles Marion Russell, Sotheby Parke Bernet Inc, Fred A. Rosenstock, 1972.

Since only 1 volume (14 of 52 articles) of a projected 3 volume series was published, a search for remaining articles has been undertaken.  Some of the articles imaged below have been re-formatted for readability and additional pictures inserted for enjoyment. I am more interested in the subject matter and text than the superb Russell artwork.
For more background on Russell's participation in this book venture see
