The story of Fight for the Waterhole
Remington's late-1903 Fight for the Waterhole is a tighter, more psychological Western scene than his cavalry charges — five cowboys pinned down in a desert mudhole at high noon, their horses lying dead around them, distant figures circling out beyond the haze. The painting was painted for Collier's Weekly and now hangs at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. One of the great late-Western canvases.
