Will James (artist)
Will James (June 6, 1892 - September 3, 1942) was an artist and writer of the American West. He is known for writing ''Smoky the Cowhorse'', for which he won the 1927 Newbery Medal.〔(Association for Library Service to Children ) Newbery Medal and Honor Winners (1920s)〕
==Early life==
James was born Joseph Ernest Nephtali Dufault, in 1892 in Saint-Nazaire-d'Acton, Quebec, Canada.〔 He started drawing at the age of four on the kitchen floor. James, a Canadian Francophone, settled near the new French-Saskatchewan settlement of Val Marie in 1910 and learned to be a western cowboy. He was taught wrangling by local cowboy Pierre Beaupre and the two built separate homesteads along the Frenchman River in southwest Saskatchewan. James's property later became part of the Walt Larson ranch which has been folded into the new Grasslands National Park. James's original homestead shack is still there. Accused of cattle theft, he left three years later and traveled to the United States with a new name, William Roderick James.
During the next several years, he drifted and worked at several jobs. He was arrested in Carson City, Nevada for cattle rustling and took care of the prison's horses during his 15 month sentence. According to cowboy and folksinger Ian Tyson, James traveled to San Francisco to sell sketches and began working as a stuntman in western movies there.〔http://www.nfb.ca/film/alias_will_james/〕 Soon he was in the U. S. Army, serving from 1918-1919. He was a horse wrangler for the First Annual Nevada round-Up in Reno in July 1919. He met and married Alice Conradt, sister of Fred Condradt, his rodeo business partner, while in Reno, Nevada, in 1920.
