Frederic Remington Museum - Part 3

I was nearing the end of my tour of the Remington Museum (see previous two posts). This wonderful piece had the long title of "Recent Uprising Among The Bannock Indians - A Hunting Party Fording The Snake River Southwest Of The Three Tetons (Mountains)," wash on paper, 1895:

"The Bronco Buster," bronze, 1896:

"Buffalo Hunter Spitting A Bullet Into A Gun," watercolor on paper, 1892:

"Untitled," oil on canvas, 1908-1909:

"A Mining Town, Wyoming," oil on canvas, c. 1899, altered 1904:

A magnificent fireplace:

An upstairs parlor - or perhaps this was a once a bedroom:

These paintings were for sale at about $75 each. But my tour of the Remington Museum had come to an end. I thanked the lady at the front desk and headed out to my car:
