Russell, Not Remington

As a former Nevadan, now living in Washington, I enjoy immensely receiving Nevada Magazine to keep me in touch with my former residence.
In the November/December 2007 edition an article that starts on page 42 profiles Mike Elliott. The caption refers to the painting in the photo as a Frederic Remington. Look closely, and you can tell it’s a C.M. Russell. As a kid I lived in Great Falls, Montana, and spent many a day in the C.M. Russell Museum. In fact, it was his grandson from whom I took clarinet lessons, but that’s another story from another time.
I retire in two years, and I’ll be back in Nevada to finish out my years. Nevada Magazine will be there with me all the way!

Just an FYI, the picture above the table on page 42 of the November/December 2007 issue is a Charles M. Russell painting, not a Frederic Remington.

As we say in the journalism business, “Good catch, Steve and Jerry.” We apologize for the misprint. Specifically, the painting is Russell’s “The Wagon Boss.” For more information on the C.M. Russell Museum, visit cmrussell.org.
