Autor

Frederic Remington (1861-1909) was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who captured the fading days of the American frontier. With an eye for the drama and vigor of the Old West, Remington's visual arts legacy is unparalleled; however, his contributions to literature, particularly through his novel 'John Ermine of the Yellowstone', also offer significant insights into life on the frontier. In this work, published in 1902, Remington tells the tale of John Ermine, a white child raised by Crow Indians, who must navigate the conflicting worlds of his Native upbringing and encroaching white civilization. Remington's narrative is permeated with his intimate knowledge of Western topography, culture, and the complex interplay between nature and humanity. His literary style reflects the same textures and visceral realism that characterize his sculptures and paintings. While Remington's artistic achievements overshadow his literary output, his novel remains a telling artifact of American literary history, granting readers a lens through which to examine the mythical and often romanticized Wild West. Remington's works continue to be celebrated for their contribution to the American narrative and the preservation of an era that has since vanished beneath the tides of time and progress.
