MT 7-17 Chas M Russell Museum

My mother was a Charles M. Russell fan.  The fact that he portrayed in his works the part of Montana she was from, and the wild west, was interesting to her.
 Caroline and Tim by his studio.
 The man himself, with his indian and cowboy artifacts around him in the studio, painting one of the many Indian scouts paintings he did.
 Indian hunts were popular, so he made many of these, as well.
 This is a watercolor of Indian life.  He also sculpted, made funny trolls out of wood, and illustrated letters.  It was a nicely done museum.
 And there's the little kid's room.  Teepees, places to do art, or make a silly picture.
William's buckaroos.
