S.C.R. No. 33
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The Legislature of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, which is hosting
a major touring exhibit of international note, Capturing Western
Legends: Russell and Remington's Canadian Frontier, from May 29 to
August 21, 2005; and
WHEREAS, Located on the campus of West Texas A&M University
in Canyon, the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum is the largest
history museum in Texas; a major cultural institution, it has one of
the best art departments and some of the best permanent art
collections in Texas; and
WHEREAS, Organized by Western Canada's largest museum, the
Glenbow Museum, this major exhibition brings together the works of
Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington; these two artists
created iconic images that captured a moment in time and continue to
define the Old West in the public imagination to this day; and
WHEREAS, Exhibit visitors will explore the era of transition
of the western frontier, when the Blackfoot people roamed the
plains and the ranching industry straddled the border between
Montana and Alberta, Canada; and
WHEREAS, Many of the paintings in this exhibit are from
private collections and have never been seen in a public
exhibition; the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum is providing
Texans an extraordinary cultural opportunity, as it will be the
only institute west of the Mississippi River to host the exhibit;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 79th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby commend the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum for hosting
this major exhibit in Texas; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be prepared for the
museum as an expression of esteem from the Texas Legislature.
