Every painting, sketch and sculpture of Charlie Russell told the story
of the romance of the American West with his trademark wit and dynamic
talent. He was the real deal, learning animal anatomy by skinning fur
trappers' game and nightherding on ranches. His profound admiration for
Native Americans informed his sensitive portrayals. His art shaped our
vision of what the Wild West looked like at the turn of the 19th
century. The Short Biographies series from Applewood's Benna Books

world-renowned figures. Each beautiful hardcover book includes an
interesting retelling of a single person's life, suitable for young
