Harold McCracken wrote, “Frederic Remington entered the field of sculpture as another means of perpetuating the American West. The image of the old-time cowboy and Indian of the Plains will live longer because of his effort and ability. Self-taught in modeling clay as he had been in drawing and painting, his first attempt resulted in The Broncho Buster. ‘I always had a feeling for mud,’ he facetiously explained, ‘and I did that … I wanted to do something a burglar wouldn’t have, moths eat, or time blacken.’ That first attempt at sculpture was acclaimed an outstanding success. Today it is the best known work of its kind by any American artist.”
