Front:
A RANGE RIDER OF THE YELLOWSTONE
Some day when the last great range herd
Is held in the valley below,
And the cowboys all have heard the call,
And know it is time to go;
And the faint dim low of the cattle
Is heard on the still night air,
And all of the old range-riders
Seem to be gathering there;
That lone horse and his rider,
That stands on that great rock wall;
Who knows, but what they have listened
Until they have heard the call?
And a spirit will stir within them,
And a smile will cover Bill's face.
He wiil say, "Come Paint, old partner,
It is time we took our place."
And the cigarette he is rolling,
He will light while he's standing there,
Watching his faithful pony
Snuff the dust-filled air;
Then he'll swing into the saddle,
As he did in days long past,
And I think he will say "Old Partner
This ride will be our last,
For the boys in the valley are calling;
They are waiting for you and me
To help drive the last great roundup
Into Eternity."

TO KNOW BILLINGS IS TO
LOVE BILLINGS
Bill Hart loved Billings so well, he gave the
city a master-piece of sculpture work.
“A Lone Range Rider of the Yellowstone,
posed by Wm. S. Hart and “Paint,” by C. C.
Christadora.
Local people visit this statue again and
again, and no tourist can afford to
to pass
through Billings without seeing it.
Viewing Billings from the site of this statue
is well worth while.
