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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
