By:  Seliger                                                    S.C.R. No. 33 



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.


Commending the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum for hosting the 
art exhibit Capturing Western Legends:  Russell and Remington's 
Canadian Frontier.
