| | Frederic Remington |
 | | Remington's gift was a huge one, a boyish one, a strongly journalistic and illustrative one, coupled easily with his secondary gift for words. |
 | | (Remington, who had been described by a young army friend years before as "a big, goodnatured, overgrown boy [whose] gait was an easy waddle," was something of a crowd all by himself.) A still bigger house and studio (Remington looked leisurely, but he worked hard) were built in 1908 on thirteen acres in Ridgefield, Connecticut. |
 | | Remington found himself watching with interest, and by late that fall, with some prodding from Ruckstull, he had given shape to his own first sculpture. |
