Howdy, fellow Brokies:

I just saw something that I simply must share with you guys. At the university library at which I work, we just received the March-April 2006 (Volume XVIII, Number 2) issue of "American Art Review". Flipping through it, I saw an advertisement, on page 40, for Bozeman Trail Gallery, in Sheridan, Wyoming. The advertisment illustration is a pen-and-ink drawing by one Edward Borein (1872-1945), 6 1/2" x 3 1/2" in dimensions, of an ole grizzly cowboy with the title...'Old Man Ennis'. The caption states that the drawing is an original illustration in "The Phantom Bull" by Charles E. Perkins (page 2).

I was very excited to see this. I haven't had the time to research any of these references, but I had to let folks know of this discovery right away. And to let you know, this Bozeman Trail Gallery has a website, with the following URL:

http://www.bozemantrailgallery.com/

Excitedly,
Scott

Yup.

Thanks for posting that direct link to the picture. After I posted my news, I consulted the website itself, and saw the picture online. Another Wyoming Ennis for us to feast our eyes on!

That 'Old Man Ennis' looks like he could eat himself a camel!

Quite a character, I bet....

monimm18:
Wow! What an incredible coincidence. Kind of eerie, don't you thinkl? One could almaost assume it's a drawing of Ennis thirty years later - wearing a moustache as a reminder/hommage to Jack...

Thanks for posting this, Scott, and Clarissa, thank you for finding the link to the drawing.
