Curatorial Remarks"Wilmington Artists in the March Magazines" (unknown newspaper, Wilmington, DE, March 1906; BRMA NCW collection) "Wyeth is represented sufficiently this month to assure his popularity and warrant the establishment of a reputation had that not been achieved some time ago....He has recently taken up the illustration for the "Arizona Nights" series in McClure’s. "The Cattleman’s Yarn" inspired a colored frontispiece and another full page, racy with horses, cow punchers and other local color of Arizona."
