It's one beautiful coffee table presentation...It's "Montana's Charlie Russell; Art in the Collection of the Montana Historical Society" published by the Montana Historical Society Press, & it's just been released THIS month! "Montana's Charlie Russell" brings to life the Montana Historical Society's world-class collection of paintings, drawing, sculptures, bronzes, & illustrated letters by the famed "Cowboy Artist."

Carefully researched scholarship illuminates the stories behind each artwork. The result is a catalog of Russell's art as you've never seen it before. Jennifer Bottomly-O'Looney, senior curator at the Montana Historical Society & 3rd generation Montanan along with Kirby Lambert have done a marvelous job in this presentation.
