Richard "Dick" Driscoll Original Artwork

26 X 38.5 Oil
“Used to seem that the men at a dance were all six footers. Such a man now towers against such a crowd. Did men grow bigger because they were the first generation on new soil or was it the largest and strongest stock who came West First.”
Dick was Mart’s brother, therefore Minerva’s first cousin as well. The cowboys often hosted dances for the single women, and families, in the area (but mostly to attract the single women). The cowboys provided the entertainment.
“The Snake River bottoms was a favorite wintering place because of the feeding ground to be found, the shelter afforded by the surrounding hills, and the water supplied by the River. For similar reasons the Indians used the present site of Pocatello for their winter quarters. Just west of Pocatello, along the banks of the Snake River, lay a rich and fertile grazing ground, where was situated the headquarters of the old War Bonnet Cattle company, a big outfit that operated in this country for several years. Dick and another cowboy, Bodie Watson were members. The cowboys would often host dances “
These paintings are excellent portraits of known and documented cowboys and pioneers.

1888-1976

The works of western American artist, Minerva Teichert, have received increasingly popular and critical acclaim in recent years. Today, Teichert is beloved among the LDS community as a woman who successfully combined faith and family and left an extraordinary legacy of artistic production.

Minerva Kohlhepp was born in North Ogden, but grew up homestead farming in the vicinity of American Falls, Idaho. Her father encouraged her childhood sketching and she soon developed an “indomitable will to succeed and excel in the field of art.” She taught school to raise enough money to go to Chicago for her art studies.
