==Early life==
Hargens was born in Hot Springs, South Dakota, the son of a country doctor. When he was 6 years old he was making charcoal drawings of houses and barns. People took notice of his work and started paying him for his pieces; if they could tell what he was drawing they would pay him 25 cents for it.〔http://dakotadiscovery.com/?page_id=208〕

He was 10 when he moved with his mother back to Omaha and Council Bluffs area.〔http://www.nytimes.com/1997/02/09/nyregion/charles-hargens-western-artist-103.html〕 He would spend the summers with his father in Hot Springs and traveling with him to Chicago where he would spend his days at the Art Institute while his father conducted business. Back in Council Bluffs during the winter months, he began to take art classes in high school and worked in the studio of a portrait painter. As a teenager he belonged to a group led by Ernest Thompson Seton that was a forerunner to the Boy Scouts program.
