Look at this! "Ghost Riders" went to it's new home today! This commission piece is 20x24 and based off the song "Ghost Riders In The Sky". FYI...this song was written and first recorded in the 1940's by a park ranger named Stan Jones who worked in Death Valley. It is based off Native American and cowboy folklore and real events. The real event happened on 1889 where several cowboys lost their lives in a stampede on Texas that is now called Stampede Mesa. Some of the old cowboys told Stan of the tragic stampede which he mixed with Native American beliefs of the after life and tossed in a little life lesson and this song came to life.
