The story of A Dash for the Timber
Between 1885 and 1888 Remington made several trips to the Southwest, often following the U.S. Cavalry in its pursuit of renegade Apaches. In 1889 he wrote to a friend that he was working on a big cowboy picture; A Dash for the Timber won favourable critical attention at the National Academy of Design in New York the following year and helped launch his career. It hangs at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth.
