This is the life story of America’s most distinguished painter of big game, covering fifty years with brush and rifle. The author gives an estimate of the artist’s work, his methods in the field and in the studio, his early life and growth, and his many interesting adventures in the Yukon, Alberta, Wyoming and New Brunswick. The reproductions of paintings include such subjects as elk, mule deer, pronghorn, moose, caribou, sheep, goat, grizzly and a landscape of Lake McArthur.

Many trail-riders and mountaineers who have visited the artist’s studio in Banff, will welcome this splendid record of his work.
