The story goes … I might not be rich, … but after 7 whisky drinks it ain’t gonna matter a tinker’s damn anyhow!
… besides Ace Reid and Lex Graham, one of the first Cowboy Cartoonists that I was exposed to was Bud McCaulley.
This book was given to me as a gift in 1996 by a client of mine.
It was lost for a period of time during a move that I had made, and it wasn’t until just recently that I discovered it again. Â Unfortunately it is a little “worse for the wear”, but no worries.
Bud McCaulley has always been a favorite of mine, and will continue to be.
Russell and Remington

There are a lot of opinions about Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington as artists. Â I have admiration for the both of them as they each had unique styles.
I came across these “first day covers” and “stamps” a few years ago. Â I had misplaced them and several other items for quite a number of years.
I recently found these items and thought I would share.
