Russell (1864?1926) was also an accomplished author in the humorous genre known as "local color." Raphael Cristy sorts Russell?s writings into four general categories: serious Indian stories, men encountering wildlife, cattle range characters, and nineteenth-century westerners facing twentieth-century challenges. Russell?s art is often misinterpreted as mere longing for a fading open-range west, but his writings tell a different story. Cristy shows how Russell amused his peers with stories that also delivered sharp observations of Euro-American suppression of Indians and humorous treatment of wilderness and range issues plus the emergenceof women and urbanization as bewildering agents of change in the modern West.
