Page "Frederic Remington" Paragraph 41

Remington completed another novel in 1902, John Ermine of the Yellowstone, a modest success but a definite disappointment as it was completely overshadowed by the best seller The Virginian, written by his sometime collaborator Owen Wister, which became a classic Western novel.

A stage play based on “ John Ermine ” failed in 1904.

After “ John Ermine ”, Remington decided he would soon quit writing and illustration ( after drawing over 2700 illustrations ) to focus on sculpture and painting.
