  • The Olympic Elk

    I can’t remember where I came across these scans, but I’m just glad I did. After last year’s Mount Olympus trip I’ve been very interested in the history of that beautiful area and just thought these were a fun find. The artist’s name is August Lenox, and was primarily known for his oil paintings of the old west. He worked for Disney for some time however, and was responsible for the comic versions of many True-Live Adventures, including Beaver Valley and Bear Country, as well as the Olympic Elk. We didn’t see any elk on our trip last year, which is as good an excuse as any for going back…
