DOWN FROM THE MUSSLESHELL 16 X 20 Oil on Panel -- On a bright fall morning after a fresh snow, a lone trapper leads his pack horse south towards where his companions are meeting up for the winter.

He has tales to tell from up north, if he makes it,
“Down from the Musselshell.”

THE GHOST OF HOOKER SWAMP -- Many years ago, after the reintroduction of deer in northern Missouri, where I grew up, had resulted in the opening of deer season, there was a timbered creek bottom along Shoal Creek known locally as Hooker Swamp. It was hard to get to, swampy, and perfect. Legend had it that in those woods there lived a buck that hunters only got a glimpse of and no one was able to kill. Here's to those that tried and to the monarch of the backwoods who never slipped up.

The Mountain Men of the early 19th century moved freely across a vast mountain wilderness in search of beaver. As historian Robert Utley has said," What they learned and how they mapped the west did not remain locked in their minds. It began to seep out in their own time and cascaded forth as the continent was conquered." Here two trappers and their pack horses pass through an aspen grove on one of those "Glory Days."

One of Ashley's Hundred - Pencil on Bristol board. 6" x 6". (11" x 11"framed ) SOLD
The enterprise that eventually came to be known as the Rocky Mountain Fur Company was established in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1822 by William Ashley and Andrew Henry. The original hires would be know to history as "Ashley's One Hundred". Among the group were Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger and others who in little more than a decade became legendary as "mountain men". Their " knowledge and experience of the Trans-Mississippi West extended the national consciousness to continental dimensions." * Ashleys men would see the west in it's wildest, most grand form, and would become the point men, the advance guard in the opening of the west.
* A Life Wild and Perilous, Robert M. Utley
Bluebird - 5" x 7" sold. - Private collection, Pennsylvania.
When God had made a host of them,
One little flower still lacked a stem
To hold its blossom blue;
So into it He breathed a song,
And suddenly, with petals strong
As wings, away it flew.
