Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Mid-Morning Art Thread![]() Elling William Gollings Who becomes famous and who toils in obscurity -- and why -- is the question that most artists must ask themselves. I had never heard of William Gollings until I had the opportunity to visit a lovely museum in Big Horn Wyoming (near Sheridan) called The Brinton Museum. And by "lovely," I don't mean just the collection. It is architecturally beautiful, and the setting is difficult to beat, with the Big Horn Mountains in the near distance. There are several Western artists who are far more famous: Russell and Remington and Bierstadt come to mind, but even relatively obscure artists such as Gollings have gems scattered in their work that are rarely seen, and wonderful when discovered!

The cowboy in the picture seems pensive, as if he's questioning his life choices brought about by his devotion to a patriarchial cisheteronormative worldview. The horse, obviously uncomfortable in xer role ( we wouldn't want to assume gender here, obviously ) , seems to be straining against the hooman's dominance. The cattle in the background wander aimlessly, rebelling against the cowboy's authoritarian attempt to herd them.

The cowboy and his horse are distinct, everything else just frames them and establishes the milieu. What stands out for me is the pose of the rider on his horse. It could be a sculpture for the old laconic cowboy. Remington could have done it.

The National Museum of Wildlife Art, also in Wyoming (Jackson Hole), is also definitely worth seeing if youre in the area.
Wildlife art was very popular in the time before photography became commonplace. It was the only way for most people to ever ‘see’ certain animals. Also, some of the most famous and influential artists of the American west and Rockies at the time were … foreigners. That was when we got the cream of the foreign crop.

Cattle were much too valuable for feeding cowboys on the trail on a cattle drive, Cookie would follow along with the Chuckwagon and serve lots of biscuits and beans for Mr. Taggart. Cowboys tended to be pretty lean fellers, Hollywood has skewed perceptions quite a lot, of course. Out west things rust but slowly, the old line camps, their garbage dumps show they must have lived on Coffee and tobacco and not much else.

The early cartridge revolvers went a step backwards in safety, resting the hammer over a cylinder turned out to be not a good idea. The more primitive cap & ball revolvers had a notched hammer and pins to rest the hammer between cylinders and didn’t suffer this problem.

Today's job report is Patient Zero of what I said would happen a while back.
With mass deportations, top line numbers are going to be funky. -23,000 jobs. Sounds awful. But, labor participation rate actually improved. Why? Because TPS ended for 230,000 people. So, deportations decreased the population of the country by a rather large amount in one month. What would the "normal" number of newly created jobs be for a nation that is losing population?

Posted by: Brother Tim sez: Fiat Justicia, Ruat Caelum at August 07, 2026 10:17 AM (OUMaO) ======== What matters for voting is local perceptions of the economy.

Posted by: Common Tater 1890's to 1930's, it was common for people to have handguns--pocket pistols, bicycle guns, and so forth. Historically, crime was not as horrible due to the widespread application of the death penalty removing the worst of scoundrels but it was unsettled times due in part, to immigration and industrialization, so people wanted to be safe. You also see discrete pistols being marketed to women for carry at the turn of the century. Before penicillin and sulfa, being gut shot even with a puny cartridge like a 25 ACP or a 32 ACP/32 S&W Short or Long, would often cause sepsis and death.

Sharps were kings of long distance shots but Remingtons were the bread and butter and that is why Sharps went bankrupt and Remington stayed in business plus Remington did the razor and razorblade solution making bank from ammunition for its firearms. Winchester though was probably the most sold for long arms with its 1873 lever action and derivative models for it. Colt with its Single Action Army and later the Colt Lightning double action were the most popular handguns. Remington and Sharps were bit players compared to Winchester and Colt.

I’ve surmised that cap & ball revolvers and similar probably hung around longer than might be expected. Of course if you could afford the latest and greatest modern cartridge firearms they were the way to go. But shipping costs (railroad) were very high and if you lived in Nevada or Utah or far off the path ammo was expensive. Being able to use black powder in myriad guns, melt down lead and cast bullets over a campfire had a certain utility. Save the good stuff for more critical social work in any case.

What matters for voting is local perceptions of the economy. If you live in a town with one industry, and that industry gets decimated while the rest of the country is thriving, you think the economy in general is terrible. (This explains why DC's perception is usually at odds with the rest of the nation, especially right now.) The GDP numbers are things that get used to try to feed overall narratives and prompting for soft-partisans to either engage or disengage, depending on who is doing the telling. Still, we talk about the numbers, so might as well try and make sense of them. Posted by: TheJamesMadison I did a paper once upon a time using REIS local economic data and a governor's reelection bid--turns out that state economic figures did not matter, national did but the strongest effect was local economy. Regular folks perceive their economy by looking out the window, elites often being okay at home, focus more on the national figures (probably due to investments, markets, etc. exposure). Few care about overall state figures. Problem with using it for predictions is local figures are slower than national to be released. Posted by: whig at August 07, 2026 10:34 AM (E4rtv) 235

Untitled (Cowboy On Horseback)
Elling William Gollings Have never heard of him, but that's not unusual. What a nice body of work!! I would hang today's art selection. Montana Trail Galleries: William Gollings [1878-1932] Bill Gollings (Elling William) did paintings known for their accurate accountings of the Old West. Gollings drew upon his own personal experiences as a cowboy, and was also known to have studied and admired the drawings of Frederic Remington, which often appeared in 'Harper's Weekly' magazine. Bill Gollings was born in 1878 in Pierce City, Idaho. As a boy, he spent much of his time was in New York, Idaho and Michigan. When he was twelve, he and his family moved to Chicago. At age nineteen, Gollings traveled to small mining and cattle towns in South Dakota and Nebraska where he spent most of his time as a sheepherder and cowboy. Despite his ranching activities, he had always possessed an interest in art. His first exposure to paints was at about age twenty-five when he began working with a set of mail-order paints. After selling several paintings, he was admitted to the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts on a scholarship. (More.) Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 07, 2026 10:37 AM (NFX2v) 247

Posted by: Common Tater ====== Expensive and at times unavailable ammunition. Same for the 38-40 and 44-40. Even the mighty 45 Colt at times literally dries up. These are handloading cartridges if you want to shoot them and handloading is a pita because of the thin and elongated necks on these cartridges. Can crumple in the reloading process. There is also the problem that the 32-20 came in two different loads--one hotter one for lever action rifles, the weaker one for revolvers. Posted by: whig at August 07, 2026 10:42 AM (E4rtv) 262

@membunnamdi1 Two men, James Gay (35) and Everette Krichbabum (52) have been arrested after a machete fight in the parking lot of a Panama City, Florida Publix parking lot. In an absolutely insane plot twist - both men are reportedly tied to the Florida based "Vampire Cult" and Mr. Gay previously spent 12 years in prison for a Vampire Cult related murder in 2011. https://tinyurl.com/y5e7ec6t - The VADL (Vampire Anti-Defamation League will hear of this!

Posted by: Archimedes at August 07, 2026 10:46 AM (Riz8t) ===== When we lived in Charleston, some kid who was attending the Citadel and lived in our neighborhood came tearing down the street and the tight curve outside our house. Crashed the car into the ditch outside our house. I go to the window and see the doors open, a bunch of pot smoke, and about 6 college aged kids bolt. The driver starts to go, but he sticks around. It was his father's car. His father came to the scene about half an hour later when word got to him. Nice white BMW. He was pissed. I think the kid got kicked out of The Citadel.

Big revolvers were ill suited to horseback use. To be safe (and not get the pistol lost in action), the holster had to be a lot different from the gunslinger style in films. Some of the design criteria for the .45 semi-auto pistol were dictated by cavalry use: improved drop safety, the grip safety, ability to carry safely with round in chamber. Cavalry was just about over with by the time the 1911 was adopted, but those who were left reaped the rewards of some quality research.

Posted by: Lizzy at August 07, 2026 10:50 AM (X8xt3) I was friendly with this dude when I was 20 and he turned out to be a super lib, even started an anti war blog etc and was like taking to Stephen Colbert before there was such a thing. At the time it wasn't a big deal to be friends with leftards but you slowly realized they didn't want to be friends with you - even if you weren't explicitly right. Just not being a leftard annoyed them a lot. My point is one day he came to me with a link to a web 1.0 forum he'd been reading where everyone there wanted to be a vampire. We joked about a lot of stuff so I thought it was a joke but the place was truly bugfuck insane. Won't even go into it, it's exactly what you think and probably worse. And I don't think he was kidding. Posted by: ... at August 07, 2026 10:55 AM (6UXQp) 291

https://tinyurl.com/5fk899ck Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Looks like my area in 2020, but the black trucks that hassled the unpermitted, street blocking protestors were the ones the politicians and police were especially interested in. In fact, the protestors were allowed to have a redo weeks later, and the black trucks and local residents closely watched (including drones) to see if one unpleasant, possibly "stress-inducing" word was directed towards the protestors. --- Just returned from Georgia. Teaching in the K-12 schools is much better than locally in my state, but DEI remains a thing and huge, fabulous mosques are rising, too.
