Here's some more artwork of a more military nature nature. And yes, it combines three of my favorite things: The West, Horses and The Army.
Charles Schreyvogel (January 4, 1861-January 27, 1912) was a Western illustrator, probably not as well known today as Charles Russel and Frederick Remington although he was their contemporary. Ironically, he was born and raised in New York City and did most of his work there. His subject matter tended to be Indian Wars-related of a heroic nature.

While perhaps the subject matter is somewhat dated by today's standards, it still goes along way to depict two cultures in conflict and the fact that the West was a rough place and death ever-present, far removed from many of the policy-makers who set things in motion.

In Safe Hands

Love the Western art! So much movement in them.
Thanks! My tastes wander all over the map, so to say. :-)
