Remarks

Drawing by Frederic Remington, Leaving the Canyon (10^th Cavalry soldiers with wounded Apache), 1887. Signed bottom right. Among Frederick Remington’s early illustrations of the West are multiple images of men who served in the 9^th and 10^th Cavalry. Sent to cover the government’s campaign against the Apache in the Southwest, Remington spent several weeks with the 10^th Cavalry in 1886 and 1888. His sympathetic essays, illustrations, and paintings helped popularize the name and exploits of the Buffalo Soldiers.
