Was it really Charlie Russell, the famed American Cowboy Artist, who painted the Lewis & Clark mural permanently displayed in the Montana State House? When family problems force young Ovidia Odegard to leave Norway, she sails to America for a life never imagined. She becomes immediately drawn to, and enamored by, the Wild West. Determined to make her way there, Ovidia wills herself to Montana and into the home of Charlie Russell, considered one of the foremost artists of the American West. Fairlee Winfield’s BUFFALOed is a stirring and sometimes hilarious reminder that the early 20th Century American West was a place where life was hard and only the strong, tenacious, or downright crazy survived.
