Harold Dow Bugbee
Bugbee began sketching Western ranching scenes while still a boy living on the family ranch near Clarendon, Texas.
Bugbee was born in Lexington, Massachusetts, to Charles H. Bugbee and the former Grace L. Dow. In 1914, the family moved to the Texas Panhandle at the suggestion of a cousin, cattleman T.S. Bugbee, and established a ranch near Clarendon, the seat of Donley County east of Amarillo. As a youth, Bugbee began sketching the multiple facets of ranch life hoping to preserve for posterity a rapidly vanishing way of life. His own experiences offered keen insight into ranch living in the Panhandle. Bugbee graduated from Clarendon High School in 1917 and attended then Methodistaffiliated Clarendon College, since a public community college. In 1918, he enrolled at Texas AampM University at College Station.
