Salmo Fontanalis / Caught in Clark's Fork of Yellowstone River M.T. / September 7th 1877 / Total length 20 1/2 Inches

1877321671Montana Territory 1877. Pen-and-ink drawing on ruled paper cut out to size and captioned as above. Approx. 20-1/2 x 7 inches. Old folds. Matted. Pen-and-ink drawing on ruled paper cut out to size and captioned as above. Approx. 20-1/2 x 7 inches. From the first reports of the Yellowstone region such as Gen. Wm. E. Strong's A Trip to the Yellowstone National Park in July August and September 1875 the word began to spread: "There is probably no river in the world the equal of the Yellowstone for big trout." Though tourist parties began to travel to the Yellowstone it was still uncertain territory. In the late summer of 1877 it was the seat of war. In early September 1877 Civil War veteran General Oliver O. Howard who a decade earlier had founded Howard University and served as its president was leading his troops on the trail of the Nez Perce who had just left the Yellowstone Park. Howard's forces more than 500 strong reached the northeast corner of the Park on Clark's Fork on 7 September. The Nez Perce under the leadership of Chief Joseph moved through incredibly rugged terrain and ultimately evaded both Howard and another military cohort under Col. Samuel D. Sturgis. This contemporary record of a Yellowstone river trout was made on a large sheet of ruled ledger paper. The anonymous artist is believed to be Lieut. Cyrus A. Earnest of the 8th U.S. Infantry as the item was found among his papers with a cyanotype of Fort Bridger California where he was posted following his Yellowstone expedition service as well as several related printed documents of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion California Commandery. These items accompany the drawing. Earnest 1840-1893 was a lieutenant in the Eighth Infantry and served with Custer in the 1873 Yellowstone Expedition to survey a route for the Northern Pacific Railroad along the Yellowstone River. While serving under Howard in the Nez Perce expedition Earnest received special commendation for a heroic 2-day over 100 mile ride over rough terrain to resupply the army at Baker's battlefield. Ernest who was born in Ohio used the conventional name for the brook trout Salmo fontanalis but that describes a non-native eastern species. Yellowstone cutthroat trout or black spotted are the most widespread native trout with "highly variable coloration but generally yellow-brown or brassy/bronze" They were first described as a distinct species Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri by Jordan and Gilbert in 1883. A remarkable artifact from the earliest years of the U.S. presence in the Yellowstone valley and a reminder that at the edges of battle people attend to customary tasks and pursuits: fishing and making a record of daily activities. Provenance: Cyrus A. Earnest 8th U.S. Infantry see below unknown

193676125Helena: Montana State Highway Commission 1936. First edition Octavo promotional pamphlet measuring 8 x 9 1/2 inches but folded in half and with text printed in columns. Photographically illustrated wrappers. Very good and clean no issues. OCLC only records three copies.The text extolling the grandeur of Montana was written by Bob Fletcher Plans Engineer for the State Highway Commission. His purpose was to increase tourism to the state. Along with the historical markers Fletcher wrote the department s promotional material including Headin for the Hills! 1937 and Picture Writing 1938 published the first of the state s colorful highway maps in 1934 and established! visitors centers at Montana s ports of entry. He knew his Montanans. The opening photograph of Tick Fall in Glacier National Park was taken by famed photographer T. J. Hileman and as Hileman specialized in portraits of Native Americans it is more then likely the he was responsible for the two panels bakd and front that bear photographic illustrations of Native Americans. On every page but three there are historical artistic vignettes by "Shoup." Irvin "Shorty" Shope was raised on a ranch in Montana and fell under the influence of the western painter Edgar S. Paxson while still in high school. Between 1919 and 1930 Shope worked as a cowboy on Montana ranches while studying art through a correspondence course. Beginning in 1925 he first exhibited his paintings in Montana and received some commercial assignments. Having sold his first painting at the age of thirty Shope returned to college majoring in art and history. In Helena Montana Shope began working as a commercial artist for the state government and at that time also spent a few months studying under the well-known illustrator Harvey Dunn at the Grand Central School of Art in New York. Shope's usual subjects were cowboys the Blackfoot Indians mountains and deserts and all his works have a distinctly western look. The eleven paintings he created for The Northwest Paper Company in 1959 and 1960 also have the look of the west about them often featuring the Mountie with Indians ranchers and cattle.
