Tales of Buffalo Bill entranced young Nick Eggenhofer in his boyhood home in Bavaria. When he emigrated to the United States, he quickly found a market for his art in the Western pulps and his career was launched. Eggenhofer’s scrupulous attention to historical accuracy in the details of Western wagons and tack are on full display in the atmospheric watercolor, Mule Train and Santa Fe Wagons Fording the Cimarron.
