RUSSELLThis is a Scarce First Edition of "Indian Why Stories: Sparks from War Eagle's Lodge-Fire" written by Frank Linderman and illustrated by Charles Russell and published in 1915. The book is comprised of numerous Native American Indian folklore stories including "Why the Chipmunk's Back is Striped", "Why Blackfeet Never Kill Mice", "Why the Indians whip the Buffalo-Berries from the Bushes" and many more. The book is a renowned collaboration between Linderman and Russell who were good friends. Frank Bird Linderman was a Montana writer, politician, Native American ally and ethnographer. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he went West as a young man and became enamored of life on the Montana frontier. While working as a trapper for several years, he lived with the Salish and Blackfeet tribes, learning their cultures. He later became an advocate for them and for other Northern Plains Indians. He wrote about their cultures and worked to help them survive pressure from European Americans. For instance, he supported establishment of the Rocky Boy Indian reservation in Montana for landless Ojibwe (Chippewa) and Cree, and continued as an advocate for Native Americans to his death. Charles Marion Russell, also known as C. M. Russell, Charlie Russell, and "Kid" Russell, was an American artist of the American Old West, known as "the cowboy artist", a prolific artist who created more than 2,000 paintings of cowboys, Native Americans, and landscapes set in the western United States and in Alberta, Canada, in addition to bronze sculptures.

• JOHN SCOTT BRONZE - "EXPLOSION AT
  JOHN SCOTT BRONZE - "EXPLOSION AT GATE 7" (2004)John J. Scott (American, 1919-2016). "Explosion at Gate 7" silicon bronze, 2004. Inscribed with the artist's signature and ram symbol as well as the title of the piece and the edition number 2/50 on the front edge of the integral bronze base of the piece. Skillfully and meticulously cast via the lost wax process, "Explosion at Gate 7" is an action-packed piece featuring a bronco rider bolting out the gate by American artist John Scott. Every nuance of horse and rider's motions is captured in this sculpture. The rider's body is practically mid-air with limbs extended and one arm raised to catch the cowboy hat rising above his head. The horse's mane is blowing this way and that, his torso twists dramatically, and the bucking bronco's legs are raised in a jump. Notice that the rider has actually lost his grip on the reins, and Scott has captured the rider's focused intensity with a knitted brow expression. Size: 10.25" L x 10.5" W x 15.125" H (26 cm x 26.7 cm x 38.4 cm); 16.5" H (41.9 cm) on included custom stand. John Scott was an American artist of Scottish heritage. He lived in a log cabin in the woods of Kittredge, Colorado that he built from the ground up and created sculptures and paintings inspired by the wildlife and scenery of Colorado and Wyoming. According to his wife Dorothy, "He was always working and always looking for something to throw himself into completely." Of note, John was immensely proud of his Scottish heritage, learned to play the bag pipes, and wore his Clan Scott tartan kilt. John was also an avid hunter of large game in Colorado and Wyoming as well as British Columbia and Alaska. Not only did John build his log cabin which he called "Brig-O-Doon" - he also built and operated his own studio and foundry. John created his bronzes via the lost wax process, a method first used by the ancients. His technique involved 24 steps from the creation of the mold to pouring the hot bronze to welding the piece back together to the embellishing with finishing touches. Indeed, John's passion for his chosen profession was boundless; in his words, "Art is a monster that sweeps over me and it seems I never satisfy that creative spirit." A little note on John Scott's signature ram symbol: Scott was greatly inspired by Charles Marion Russell whose emblem was a buffalo skull symbolizing his strong connection to the American West. Following in Russell's footsteps, Scott chose the ram as his symbol, because the Rocky Mountain bighorn ram with its massive curling horns is the state animal of his beloved Colorado. John Scott loved his homeland and his art has been exhibited throughout the American Southwest and beyond in reputable galleries of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, and California.

Inscribed with the artist's signature and ram symbol as well as the title of the piece and the edition number AP (artist's proof) 2/10 on the lower edge of the piece. Skillfully and meticulously cast via the lost wax process, "Great Spirits Cattle III" depicts a North American bison grazing in a field and demonstrates American sculptor John Scott's painstaking attention to the details of his subject's anatomy as well as behavior. Scott was a master at capturing various textures; please take a moment to appreciate the rendering of the animal's furry coat, smooth horns, and watery eyes as well as the veristic manner in which the bovine bows his head to the grass in order to consume vegetation in a no-nonsense manner. Scott's sculpture of this beautiful animal is so realistic that one can almost imagine a swish of the tail or a twitch of the ears. A striking bronze - an artist's proof from a limited edition of 10 - by John Scott, an artist who had a deep respect and connection to wild life.

From backgrounds in race-horse breeding and championship cattle ranching, the socialite couple paid homage to the St. Louis area community in a variety of ways. Mr. Wallace served as Director of Commerce Bank, President of the St. Louis Zoo Friends Board, and was charitable to numerous organizations he believed in. Behind every great man is a better woman, and his wife Lee was renowned for being the glue of the family while she warmly served as Director of Development for local educational institutions and made an impact with her lasting spirit. The couple’s art collection ranges in style and period and spans a broad price-point.
