Provenance: The Collection of a Massachusetts Lady. Other Notes: Raised in Chicago by a single mother, Harry Jackson ran away from home at the age of 14 and headed West. From an early age, he was inspired by the cowboy culture of the West, returning to the trope throughout his artistic career. He was a sketch artist for the Marines during World War II, and, after being wounded in the Battle of Tarawa, convalesced in Los Angeles, where he was exposed to the works of Abstract Expressionists such as Jackson Pollock for the first time. Jackson was immediately drawn to these works, and moved to New York, studying under Rufino Tamayo and Hans Hoffman while befriending Pollock, de Kooning, and others. He exhibited at Tibor de Nagy in the early 1950s and was lauded by Clement Greenberg and others as one to watch within the second generation of abstract expressionists. However, it was not long before Jackson turned away from abstract expressionism, traveling to Italy in 1954, exploring portraiture and history painting, and ultimately leaving the New York scene behind. He developed an interest in the lost wax method of bronze making and polychromed bronze, and today is perhaps best known for these bronze works. Ultimately, he found his way back West, settling in Cody, Wyoming, where he was commissioned to create a number of important bronze sculptures throughout his career, including the 114 inch Sacagawea monument for which lots 146 and 149 are models.

U.S. Army Indian Scout WilliamU.S. Army Indian Scout William E. Archbold LeQuesne Archive 3 letters; 7 manuscripts; ribbon; newsclippings; 13 photographs; and 3 baskets that were purportedly presented to LeQuesne by Sitting Bull's daughter. 1884-1904. As a young man William E.A. LeQuesne joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and served in the Canadian wild west doing active duty during the Northwest Rebellion of 1885 (an unsuccessful attempt by the Metis and Indian allies to break free of Anglo-Canadian domination) and during the cross-border tensions with the United States during the Plains Indian Wars he served as an interpreter and scout for the Americans (under Gen. Nelson A. Miles) as well as for the Canadians. Borders mattered little. Fluent in Dakota language and apparently conversant in other languages from the Upper Plains LeQuesne was not a simple caricature of an ''Indian fighter '' he lived among the tribes on a friendly basis and says he befriended Sitting Bull himself even claiming that Sitting Bull offered his daughter in marriage -- LeQuesne delicately declined referencing his wife in the east. Later in life LeQuesne and his wife taught at an Indian mission school in the Dakotas and he achieved some minor fame as a lecturer and writer sometimes using the Dakota moniker Matoptecela drawing upon his experiences during the 1870s and 1880s to produce very readable narratives about life among the ?Sioux.? His is in the classic western genre exciting and detailed but it carries an authenticity lacking in many accounts of life among the Indians borne of hard experience. In one story he writes that he had known warriors not only from the Sioux and Blackfoot but also Crow Nez Perce Gros Ventres Cree Assiniboine Salteau Chippewa Blood Piegan and Sarcee. The LeQuesne collection includes seven memoirs more or less polished all written ar0und the turn of the twentieth century. These include: 17pp essay signed Matoptecela July 31 1900 relating an incident in which he took part stealing a wife in Sitting Bull??Ts camp for a young man (Coyote) who had too few horses to trade for a wife: Now as stealing a squaw was a crime in a Sioux camp and the girl??Ts father (Pants) had the privilege of shooting the thief if he caught him inside of three says it was a serious matter. An exciting chase follows Lequesne managing to evade all repercussions for his part in the theft and account of Coyote??Ts return after the statute of limitation ran out ingratiating himself to the father and camp. A second version of the Coyote-Pants story a bit longer but perhaps incomplete. A few of the personal qualifications of the administration of the Clondyke 7pp (incomplete). Includes a fascinating discussion of Gen. Nelson Miles inviting Long Dog and other hostile Indians and Custer-veterans to see the operation of the Gattling Gun with LeQuesne acting as interpreter: The exclamation of this warrior on seeing a little butte or hill torn up by one discharge of the gun made our hair stand on end and I would not like to see it on paper. The General checked the Indian for using such language and asked him where he learned to swear in that way and cautioned him not to do so again. The Indian replied that he had learned it all from the soldiers and if he did not like to hear the Indians talk that way he should forbid the soldiers using such words in their hearing... While on the Qu??Tappelle station 8pp regarding two ill-inclined half-breeds who committed murder and were pursued until captured by the Mounted Police. Life in a Sioux camp a few years after the Black Hills trouble 2pp (incomplete). Describing a visit to Sitting Bull??Ts camp. For the Boys and Girls Weekly a memoir apparently aimed at a younger audience but with excellent content 15pp. As bloodthirsty & cruel as the Sioux warrior was known to be he no doubt had a bump of hospitality which I will undertake to prove from a little personal experience. During the winter of ??T79 buffalo were plentiful on some of our western plains & Sitting Bull with about 400 lodges of his followers were encamped on the White Mud River hunting. I was one of a party going over the prairie in question & got lost in a snow storm before reaching the crossing the White Mud... Memoir of Indian service 8pp. Includes an account of Sitting Bull??Ts surrender to American forces handing his gun to a young boy and saying here my boy hand my gun & give my horse to the White Chief. You will never be a man for you cannot have a gun to shoot your enemies with. Also account of Indian hunting accidents the survivor of an attack by the Blackfoot and the revenge exacted; and an account of interpreting for the Canadian government during the rebellion of 1885 including the capture of Star Blanket Five articles written for newspapers ca.1893 each on folio sheets. Content memoirs of arresting Indians for attempted murder; Indian horses; and spending a New Year with one of the leaders of the Minnesota Massacre in 1887. Among the three letters two stand out. The first is a letter of recommendation from R. Brinton Deane March 22 1894 attesting that LeQuesne served as Sioux interpreter and Scout under my command during the rebellion of 1885 rendering valuable service and crediting him with the capture of Chief Star Blanket and White Cap two troublesome Indians of whose whereabouts it was very difficult to obtain reliable information. The second letter is a fine TLS from Gen. Nelson A. Miles recalling LeQuesne??Ts service in the Yellowstone (Aug. 4 1904). The collection also includes a fascinating typed diary (in photocopy only) of Aunt Beth??Ts [Archbold??Ts wife]... 500 miles drive through the South Dakota Plains to attend a Sioux Indian church Convocation 8pp 1902; a handsome printed discharge from the North West Mounted Police Force June 9 1884; a Knights of Pythias membership; newsclippings; and 2 photos of Mrs. LeQuesne with peace pipe (ca 1956). The photographs make an exciting and decidedly odd addition to the collection. Headlining the lot is a superb cdv-sized tintype of a jaunty LeQuesne seated in his dress Mountie uniform but there are as well four images of him wearing a disguise as an Indian scout and spy -- two are identical real photo postcards signed Matoptecela and perhaps sold as souvenirs as his lectures. Joining these images in disguise are three images of an ''Indian'' woman (possibly Mrs. LeQuesne in disguise) a studio portrait of LeQuesne dated 1911 and a printing-out paper print of a white man most likely LeQuesne and Long Dog a ''Head Warrior'' (Camp Policeman) in Sitting Bull's camp during the Canadian exile. This is from an otherwise unknown photo by David F. Barry ca. 1887-88 taken at Standing Rock Reservation D.T. A group of 3 Sioux baskets that were purported presented to LeQuesne by Sitting Bull's daughter also accompany this fine lot. Two of the 3 baskets are accompanied by written notes the first identified as ?Porcupine quill work on Birchbark base the second identified as Sweet Grass basket...containing agate from Duluth MI Lake Superior? with both notes stating that the baskets were presented to LeQuesne by Sitting Bull's daughter. The baskets range in size from 4.5 in. dia. to 6.75 in. dia. A small heart with ?Elizabeth LeQuesne? weaved into is also included. These 3 baskets are pictured in one of the 20th century press photographs included in the lot of Mrs. LeQuesne displaying the other items purportedly given to her husband by Sitting Bull including a peace pipe which was eventually donated to an institution. A superb record of a Canadian veteran of the Plains Indian wars of the 1870s and 1880s a Mountie and first rate writer who could tell a story with marvelous pace and verve. The paper is not of uniform quality and some pages tattered at the edges though affecting relatively little of the text.
