Badlands Camp -
One of America's Top Western Artists, Ted Long, has this to say about his painting, "Badlands Camp" tells the story of the intense bitter life that was endured by the plains Indians during the long winter months in their teepee camps. The daily chores of gathering food, fuel, and fodder were the most important things on their minds. Some went off in search of meat and a possible better campsite. Although the teeppees looked warm and cozy, then the evening fires burned down, there was much snuggling down deep into the buffalo robes. -
This painting hangs in Wall Drug's Western Art Gallery dining room in Wall, South Dakota. - postmarked in 1979 with 10 cent 'People's Right to Petition for Redress' stamp
