For Real: Bob Rockwell: The Man and His Collection

208 pp. "The west is still a great country but the picture and story part of it has been plowed under by the farmer." (C.M. Russell, 105) Robert Fay Rockwell, Jr. came East in 1933 to manage his uncle's department store in Corning, New York. Subsequently, from modest means, "Bob" built a priceless three-tiered collection of Western art, Carder Steuben glass and antique toys which he and his wife, Hertha, gave to the Rockwell Museum in 1982."
