In the small yard in his boyhood home in Brooklyn, John Wade Hampton roped cows in his mind with his mother’s clothesline. With earnings from the “Red Ryder” comic strip which he helped draw, Hampton moved West—to Scottsdale for a time, in fact—where he raised and punched a few head (mostly as models for his art) and helped found the Cowboy Artists of America.
