   From the action you've stirred up so far,   
   I'd have to say you hit the mother lode!   
      
   Or should that be mother "load?"   
      
   I'm going to change the mood a bit by suggesting   
   that my favorite is Freddie Remington (1861-1909) - the artist.   
      
   http://www.fredericremington.org/   
      
   Not only was Remington a very skilled illustrator,   
   he was instrumental in preserving for posterity   
   the images of the "Old West" most of us love so   
   dearly today. I could just as easily have chosen   
   George Catlin who actually lived among the Indians   
   who he captured in colorful renderings, but his works   
   are less well known than Remington's. Remington's   
   bronzes are still in "reproduction" today and still   
   very popular among lovers of western lore.
