One Man's Castle - Trapper And Wife By Howard Terpning

By Howard Terpning

One Man's Castle by Howard Terpning

Many trappers and mountain men took Indian women as wives. The women were generally hard working and industrious and relieved the men from all the chores they would have to contend with as bachelors, not to mention the fact that they offered companionship in an otherwise lonely existence.

"My painting is a bit 'tongue in cheek,' but I believed it represents a scene that could have taken place countless times." ~ Howard Terpning

Luxury is a relative matter. Given the sparsity of it in his time and place, this mountain man is enjoying life of Riley, comfortably stretched out on his bedding beneath the shade of a blanket rigged across the most primitive type of lean-to. His Indian wife looks bored as she waits for supper to finish boiling in a bucket over the meager campfire. (The Art of Howard Terpning - Elmer Kelton).
