AMERICAN HORSE IS MISSING: Darla Worden wrote in “New West” about her and her husband’s July visit to artist Thom Ross’s “Battle of Little Bighorn” installation at the Snow King Resort in Jackson, Wyo. Worden was impressed by the exhibit but wished that its figures weren't being sold piecemeal. “If I had the money and the space (most importantly the money) I would have written a check on the spot for the entire installation. We marveled about the show's significance, and my husband commented that he wished the pieces could stay together, that a wealthy benefactor would buy them all and station them at the Buffalo Bill Historical Museum in Cody. Or, perhaps the pieces could be reunited years from now at a museum exhibit.” She notes with chagrin that the figure representing Lakota leader American Horse already was missing, having been stolen when the exhibit was in Sun Valley, Idaho.
