Art of Gary Stone on Permanent Display National Oregon/California Trail Center

 The original paintings of Gary Stone used in the book Stone by Stone on the Oregon Trail, written by his wife, are on permanent display at the National Oregon/California Trail Center.  There are 44  paintings in all.  I can't find them but they say his own face is in each painting, his wife's carved name, and a Native American.  This is a small sample.
