拍品資料及來源
A resident of Hoboken, New Jersey, Charles Schreyvogel was initially exposed to frontier life through William Frederick Cody's traveling show "Buffalo Bill's Wild West." In 1893, at the age of thirty-two, Schreyvogel traveled west for the first time and visited the Ute Reservation in Colorado. While there, he interviewed many veterans of the plains wars, including officers, cavalrymen, and Native Americans, and gathered details about their experiences. Schreyvogel was so inspired by their stories that, upon his return to his home in New Jersey, he resolved to become the artist-historian of the Army of the American West. The present sculpture depicts a cavalryman's devotion to his steed, as he allows his horse to drink his last drop of water from his hat.
