Done in the Open is a book written by Frederic Remington, an American artist and writer who is best known for his depictions of the American West. The book is a collection of short stories that are set in the Wild West and explore the lives of cowboys, Native Americans, and other characters who lived in this rugged and untamed landscape.The stories in Done in the Open are vividly written and capture the spirit of the American West in all its glory and brutality. Remington's prose is rich and evocative, and he paints a vivid picture of the characters and landscapes that he describes.Some of the stories in Done in the Open are based on Remington's own experiences as a cowboy and adventurer, while others are fictional creations. But all of them share a common theme: the struggle of individuals to survive and thrive in a harsh and unforgiving environment.Whether you are a fan of Western fiction or simply interested in learning more about the history and culture of the American West, Done in the Open is a must-read. It is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its powerful storytelling and vivid imagery.1898. Drawings by Remington, the renowned Western artist, with notes and verses by Owen Wister and others. Wister writes in the Introduction: No artist until Remington has undertaken to draw so clearly the history of the people...He has pictured the red man as no one else...He has told his tragedy completely...Remington has recorded the white man who encountered him-recorded this man also in every stage from dignity to sordid squalor. Pioneers, trappers, cowboys, miners, prospectors, gamblers, bandits-the whole motley rout goes ineffaceably into Remington�������s pages. And, finally, he has not forgotten nature herself. The mystery of the untouched plains and the awe of the unscaled mountain heights have been set down by him not only truthfully, but with potent feeling and imagination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
