american and indian art that makes up the collection. >> the brinton museum is a very complex institution because not only are we an art museum, but we are also history and we have natural history as well. of beautiful acres ranch land here. we interpret the ranch land and interpret the history, we interpret the date of american history. there are a lot of wheels to this institution. our hope is to give people a view of why this area is important and why it deserves being preserved and seen by people from all over the world. the decor andto mountains.

the ranch, the purchase of the ranch in 1923 serves as the impetus for this collection and the ranch becomes the repository for the collecting. he buys over 200 works by edward see of the 35 works you rice behind me,. he dies rather prematurely in 1936 and has 650 works of art here. of nativer 350 pieces american art. owns somen museum very important pieces of western art, one of them being the painting of the fight, little bighorn by frederick graham and ington. another one is in black and white as most of his

illustrations are. brinton was a wise collector. he could collect great paintings in the black-and-white realm because they were illustrations. they had a lot less value than the color work of that time. bradford is very well educated, a yale graduate from 1904. helen is six years his elder and she never married and upon his death, he leaves the rash to helen with the idea that upon her death, she is supposed to open it to the public so they can see how they lived. even in the 1930's, he understood he was not living the way most americans were living. are in front of the plane's nation which is the brinton exposition of american -- of native american planes materials. it's a testament to the n,portance of the galatio

family, patience -- patrons of the native people and they are treasured by the crow and over the course of 40 years, it's adopted into the tribe and eventually made an honorary crow medicine woman. the family benefits by receiving countless pieces of really important crow art of which you will see behind us and which really form the nucleus of this exhibition. these elaborate headdresses which are very important and very spiritual within the crow tribe, those are not things that would be given to just anybody. so it shows the reference that the tribe held for edith gallatin in particular.

the 1830's. it represents the height of thatperiod of art. you can see the owner has decorated it with some of his war deeds, and those deeds are carried on again in the back of k. rapidly made in the early 1830's is collected in 1865 by a british army officer and eventually finds its way back to and we were fortunate enough to be able to acquire it at that point. my hope is that people can come here and see different aspects of various plains tribes, the blackfeet, the code -- the crow, the lakota, the apache in this museum of being very important to that whole cultural part of the 1860's back to the 1760's, that bison culture,

the buffalo culture of the planes people. plains. gallatin's are important not only because of the indian collection that we have acquired but also their integral in introducing boreen. they bring him out here when they are building their house in 1911 so he is a california in 1872 in california. he is probably most important cowboy artist of that era because he actually was a cowboy. remington and charlie russell were not cowboys by profession. by any stretch of the bore reallywhereas was and he workeden on ranches throughout california and mexico and participated in massive cattle drives. he was a marvelous draftsmen and you can see that illustrated in this drawing. it's a beautiful piece and he

was a master of india ink and the brush and becomes good friends with bradford brinton and he goes on to collect over 230 pieces. we are now in the brinton house. this is the original part of the institution. for the first 50 years of the institution's history, this was the main thing to see here. to 1892, states back william moncrief and his brother built the house and william lives here with his wife until 1910 when he sells the biggest part of the ranch to the gallatin family. in 1923, bradford brinton buys the house and he puts it into this shape in 1928 after a remodel. in it five bedrooms including bradford's big bedroom . when brinton remodeled it in

1927, he made sure every bedroom had its own bath. home for a ideal country gentleman is what it was. this was the repository of his art. this is where he came to relax and have a good time in sheridan and those days. it was basically the heartbeat of the dude ranch industry so there were lots of dude ranches and bradford had very good relations with those people and entertained them here. the history of this area is what gives rise to that marvelous museum building. what we would like visitors to walk away with from the museum is a better picture of what the west was. it was not all indian fights and cowboys hurting capital -- herding cattle. it was more refined than anybody really thought it ever was in this area. it was a part of history that most people have no idea ever existed.
