From Wiki: Stewart Edward White (March 12, 1873 – September 18, 1946) was an American writer, novelist, and Spiritualist. He was a brother of noted mural painter Gilbert White. White's books were popular at a time when America was losing its vanishing wilderness. He was a keen observer of the beauties of nature and human nature yet could render them in a plain-spoken style. Based on his own experience, whether writing camping journals or Westerns, he included pithy and fun details about cabin-building, canoeing, logging, gold-hunting, and guns and fishing and hunting. He also interviewed people who had been involved in the fur trade, the California Gold Rush and other pioneers which provided him with details that give his novels verisimilitude. He salted in humor and sympathy for colorful characters such as canny Indian guides and "greenhorn" campers who carried too much gear. White also illustrated some of his books with his own photographs, while some of his other books were illustrated by artists, such as the American Western painter Fernand Lungren for The Mountains and Camp and Trail. Theodore Roosevelt wrote that White was "the best man with both pistol and rifle who ever shot" at Roosevelt's rifle range at Sagamore Hill.

From the Web: Thomas Fogarty (1873-1938) was an American illustrator of magazines and books. A native of New York City, Fogarty studied under H. Siddons Mowbray and Carroll Beckwith at the city’s Art Students League, eventually becoming an illustration instructor there from 1905-1922. During his teaching years at the Art Students League, Fogarty became an influential instructor to a generation of 20th century illustrators. Some of his students included Norman Rockwell, Walter Biggs, McClelland Barclay, William Galbraith Crawford, Edmund F. Ward, and George Edward Porter.
