Joe De Yong, a painter, and sculptor, of Indian and western subjects, was born in Webster Grove, Missouri, and was raised in Indian territory.

First Edition. Small Quarto. . No pagination. A very nice copy of a poetic lament on the passing of Will Rogers. The frontispiece of Will Rogers looking back is emblematic. Charles M. Russell and Joe De Yong had much in common. Both wound up in Montana. And both wanted to paint the West as it was, with painstaking attention to detail. It's little wonder De Yong became Russell's protégé. But De Yong also left his own legacy. De Yong began his career by working on Western movies in Hollywood alongside silent actor Tom Mix, while creating the sets and costumes for many westerns including "Union Pacific" (1939), "Red River" (1948) and "Shane" (1953), He said that as he designed the frontier bar where the gunfight took place came right out of Charlie Russell's paintings. De Yong subsequently moved to Santa Barbara, California, where he worked alongside Edward Borein and Maynard Dixon. He was the official artist of the rancheros visitadores, an equestrian social club in Santa Barbara. De Yong returned to the movie industry as a costume designer and historical consultant in the 1930s-1950s. He worked on The Plainsman in 1937; Union Pacific in 1939; Buffalo Bill in 1944; Red River in 1948; and Shane 1953. Staple bound in light brown stiff paper wraps printed in black with a small design stamped in red.
