Ships with care and protection. W. Herbert Dunton (Buck to his friends) spent much of his childhood hunting and exploring the backwoods of Maine. Then, when he turned 18, he traveled to Montana. After that, he was hooked on the West, returning every summer to draw the cowboys and wildlife he’d grown so fond of. He studied at the Cowles Art School in Boston and moved to New York in 1903, where he worked as a commercial illustrator producing drawings for Harper’s, Scribner’s, Collier’s, and several book publishers. Over time, the work took a toll on his health. So finally, Dunton pulled up stakes in 1912 and moved to Taos, New Mexico, to escape the pressure. He joined the Taos Art Colony on his arrival, and then, in 1915, he became a founding member of the Taos Society of Artists with Joseph Henry Sharp, Ernest Blumenschein, E. Irving Couse, Bert Phillips, and Oscar E. Beminghaus. Dunton illustrated many books, including The Riders of the Purple Sage by Zane Grey, The Black Barque by T. Jenkins Hains, and Wanderer of the Wasteland by Zane Grey.
