“For the Plains Indian, life revolved around two primal elements: hunting and war. One meant sustenance for the body, the other, honor to warm the soul,” writes Elmer Kelton in The Art of Frank C. McCarthy. The artist, known for his thrilling action scenes and highly detailed paintings, frequently painted images of power, might and bravery. “Courage was paramount in the warrior code,” he wrote.
