About This Item
Doubleday, 1990. Hardcover. Very Good/Good . 7x1x10. Two small chips missing to bottom edge of dustjacket, with a short tear and some edgewear. Russell writes easily, and in the vernacular. He tells of Indians and Indian fighters, buffalo hunts, bad men, wolves, wild horses, tough hotels, drinking customs, and hard-riding cowboys. . . . [He] lived long enough in the West to acquire a vast amount of information and lore, and he has left enough from his brush to prove his place as a sound interpreter of a stirring period and a fascinating country. Russell was the greatest painter who ever painted a range man, a range cow, a range horse, or a Plains Indian. He savvied the cow, the grass, the blizzard, the drought, the wolf, the young puncher in love with his own shadow, the old waddie remembering rides and thirsts of far away and long ago. He was a wonderful storyteller. . . . His subjects were warm with life, whether awake or asleep, at a particular instant, under particular conditions. Trails Plowed Under, prodigally illustrated, is a collection of yarns and ancedotes saturated with humor and humanity.

This is a book for those people who firstly, love Charlie M. Russell, the cowboy artist. He wrote like an old wrangler, and liked to "tell stories" like tall tales, etc. He was a wonderful character, and a great painter, sculptor, and genuine Montana lover. This is something not of the ordinary, but for those who have a quirky personality!! Yes, I would recommend this book to other readers.
