Federick Remington: Art for Children by Ernest Raboff, J.B. Lippincott, New York, 1973.

This book gives a brief history of Frederick Remington, who was born in Canton, New York in 1861 and died and died in 1909.  He is credited with almost 3000 drawing and paintings.  He also created bronze sculptures and wrote eight books.  He was famous because of his art by the time he thirty.  His most common theme was the West, mountain men, cowboys and Native Americans.  In his drawings he documented the changes which took place in the West and the changing native American economy.  The book mentions the material is copyrighted so I have borrowed a couple pictures from the internet which are representative of the illustrations in the book.
