Join The Extreme History Project on February 18, 6pm at the Bozeman
Public Library Community Room for a presentation by Mary Jane Bradbury.
Free and open to the public.

Against the backdrop of the social and political reform of the early 1900s,
Nancy Cooper Russell was a woman ahead of her time. A self-taught
business woman with the ability to take charge, Nancy helped Charles M.
Russell become the highest paid living artist of his time.

Bradbury brings Nancy Russell to life and shares the story of her chance
meeting with the Montana cowboy artist who would become her husband.
She describes the world of art that celebrated the myth of the west at the
beginning of the 20th century and tells stories about the renowned artists
and celebrities the Russells knew as they traveled from New York City to the
growing California suburb called Hollywood.

Mary Jane Bradbury is an historic interpreter and scholar who brings history
to life for audiences of all ages. She is an artist in residence for the CM
Russell Museum in Great Falls and the Montana Historical Society in Helena.
