Charles M. Russell, Cowboy and Artist

Charles Marion Russell (1864 - 1926) was born in St. Louis, MO, but made his way to the Judith Basin area of Montana when he was barely 16 years old.

As a child Russell had fantasized about becoming a cowboy in the great American West, and two years after arriving in Judith Basin he realized his dream by becoming a night wrangler. He pursued both his passions of cowboying and art for 11 years before finally becoming a full-time artist.

Many historians credit Charles Russell's wife Nancy (the former Nancy Cooper, married to Charles in 1896) with the business acumen that gained her husband the national and international fame his art deserved. Charles Russell died in 1926 at his home in Montana.
