A VISIT WITH PETER HURD By Fred Gipson Folks, strange isn’t it that great artists lives follow a pattern of rejection, then notoriety and later – acclaim. Such is the study here as reported by one of the West’s best western writers Fred Gipson, about one of the greatest of western painters – Peter Hurd. As only the great story tellers can tell, Gipson lays out the story of Hurd’s paintings – from those in a cluttered gallery to his masterpieces hanging on the walls of the White House and hundreds of important galleries around the world. Pictured here are some of Hurd’s works including “The Deserted Ranch” and “The Sheepherders Christmas” plus a story of a command performance that Hurd spurned at first until he found that the President of the United States himself had ask that he do an official portrait to hand in the White House. Beautiful story by a giant of western literature about a magnificent artist of western painting. The story is entitled: A VISIT WITH PETER HURD By Fred Gipson Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the pioneer artists and writers of the old west like this one are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive I hope you appreciate the effort. A VISIT WITH PETER HURD By Fred Gipson Folks, sooner or later - Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer's dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend.
