Charley Russell - historical pen and ink illustrations from Back-Trailing...

 Salvete Omnes,

a very fine Polish historian passed away yesterday - rather young prof. Jaroslaw Centek of Torun University History Department - pacem aeternam. 

...
and my quick post of today, I was able to 'corral' some better quality scans of the plates  :
Charley Russell had drawn these  illustrations  for newspaper stories  published in various American daily newspapers, and The Cheely-Raban Syndicate published  a 14 stories in a book titled 'Back-Trailing on the Old Frontiers' in Montana, 1922. Book is available on Archive world library for reading and download.
