Sheridan leatherworker James Jackson wins nation's highest honor for his craft
Enjoy this amazing conversation with master leatherworker and National Endowment for the Arts 2019 National Heritage Fellowship awardee James Jackson.
This year Jackson won the nation’s highest honor in the folk and traditional arts after being nominated by Josh Chrysler, folklorist for the Wyoming Arts Council.
“Jim being awarded a National Heritage Fellowship is truly a testament to the caliber of his work. The NEA only gives these fellowships to the best of the best, and Jim belongs in that group, said Chrysler of Jackson's work. It’s difficult to understate both how prestigious an award this is, and how strongly Jackson deserves it, for his excellence in an art form that is in many ways, highly representative of Wyoming and our western, ranching culture.”
Jackson spent much of his career doing custom work for King’s Saddlery in downtown Sheridan, and now demonstrates his leather carving at the Brinton Museum outside Big Horn.
Today, James Jackson works from his studio at the Bradford Brinton Museum in Sheridan.
Jackson is deeply rooted in the leather carving tradition, having grown up primarily in Sheridan, which is known worldwide for its distinctive ‘Sheridan Style’ of leather tooling.
Jackson learned the art form from his father, the saddlemaker Edward Jackson, and other Sheridan leather carvers including Don King, Bill Gardner, and Ernie Ernst. Consistent with Sheridan Style, Jackson carves a tight pattern, with a lot of small flowers wrapped in nesting circles of swirling leaves. At the same time, Jackson develops his own patterns, and also experiments with form, combining his painting and leatherwork. Jackson is also a formally trained artist, holding an MFA from the University of Wyoming.
Jackson joins three previous National Heritage Fellows from Wyoming: Don King, Western saddlemaker, 1991; Eva McAdams, Shoshone crafts and beadwork, 1996; and Martin Goicoechea, Basque bertsolari poetry, 2003. Jackson, along with eight other recipients from across the nation, was honored in Washington, DC in September 2019.

Fireworks on July 4 at the Equestrian Center in Big Horn, 2014
The fireworks out at the Big Horn Equestrian Center are always fantastic thanks to Bruce Burns and the Big Horn Lions Club. This video shows the fireworks on the ground beforehand, as well as some shots of the public as they wait. Unfortunately, after getting only about 30 seconds of the actual fireworks the battery in the GoPro gave out... Thanks Senator Burns and Lions Club!

Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site
During its two-year existence (1866-1868), Fort Phil Kearny was the focal point of a violent war between the U.S. Army and the Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapaho. While the Army was assigned to protect emigrants traveling the Bozeman Trail, the Indians were protecting what they felt were their last great hunting grounds. Two battles, Fetterman and Wagon Box, involved troops stationed at Fort Phil Kearny. Abandoned and burned in 1868, the original site (along the Fetterman and Wagon Box sites) was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963. Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails is celebrating its' 75th Anniversary. wyoparks.org.
