New York-based painter Don Spaulding devoted much of his career to the U.S. Cavalry. “My love affair with the U.S. Cavalry and the American West really blossomed in 1949 when I saw She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. I had already been affected by Frederic Remington’s paintings, but it was the movie that turned me into a cavalry buff,” he said. “I still watch She Wore a Yellow Ribbon when it shows on television. Now the inaccuracies in uniforms and equipment amuse me, but I still find the visual excitement.” Spaulding studied under Norman Rockwell, and later found validation when his work was shown at West Point and commended for its accuracy.
