Stories of ~ \; By Elmo
Great Scouts H Sss'e
EDGAR S. PAXSON, THE SCOUT
WHO WAS A PAINTER

Col. Edgar S. PaxSOn was a scout
who became a painter. He worked
for 20 years on one painting before
it was completed, and when the old
scouts masterpiece was done, it was
declared to be the most accurate pic
ture Of Clusters last battle ever
painted. 1t made Paxson famous.
Paxson was New Yorker who
went to Montana in the early seven.
ties. He became a cowpuncher,
hunter and trapper. When Chief Jo-
seph led his Nez Perez warriors on
their 1,0O0-mile dash for freedom in
1877, Paxson enlisted as scout with
the United States troops and served
with them until Chief Joseph was cor
nered in the Bear Paw mountains and
surrendered to General Miles.
After the Nez Perez war was over,
Paxson returned to Deer Lodge,
Mont. and opened studio. He had
always wanted to paint pictures and
he took for his subjects the things
he knew best - cowboys, Indians,
hunters and trappers. Then he con-
ceived the idea of a painting Of the
greatest Indian battle in American
history-Custer's last fight with the
Sioux and Cheyennes on the Little
Big Horn.
For years Paxson gathered infor-
nation about the battle. He went over
the battlefield again and again until
he was familiar with every foot of it {:
he talked with Indians who had fought
against Custer, and he sought officers
and men who had served with Reno
and Benteen to get their stories of
the fight. He learned everything he
could of the position of every man in
the Seventh cavalry on that fateful
day in June 1876.
Paxson was engaged seven years
in the actual painting of the picture.
His work was interrupted during this
time by his service in Cuba during
the Spanish-Amer1can war and in the
Philippines. After the war was over
he returned to his work and the pic
ture was completed.
In this painting Paxson showed the
figures Of more than 200 soldiers, In
dams and scouts. 1t contained the
portraits of Sc members of Clusters
command painted from photographs.
Every detail of the battle was shown
historically accurate, so far as it is
possible to know how Custer and his
men persisted. The painting has been
on exhibition in the largest cities OF
the United States and it now hangs
in the library of the Montana State
university at Missoula. It is valued
at $4,000.
In 1878 Paxson laid down the
scouts rife to take up the painters
brush. Forty-one years later he laid
down the brush. Colonel Paxson died
in Missoula, November 9. 1919.
