The primary way that the Frederic Remington Art Museum expands its collections of artifacts, artwork, and other items is through donations, loans and gifts for acquisitions related to the mission and fitting the scope of collections and acquisition criteria.

Cumnor's Awakening by Frederic Remington, 1894, ink wash with pen and ink on paper
Listen on NCPR. First Sergeant. 13th Infantry by Frederic Remington, 1898, work on paper
On December 31, 2014, a package arrived containing the gift of a Frederic Remington wash drawing, First Sergeant, 13th Infantry. We are most grateful to donor Elizabeth S. Morrison, whose grandfather, Robert Bell Hilliard solicited the drawing from Remington while Hilliard was a student at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis for an illustration in 1904 yearbook, The Lucky Bag. Hilliard's father, also a Navy man, knew Remington, which led to the gift. The work depicts a soldier at Tampa, Florida, presumably done while Remington was there to draw the troops awaiting war in Cuba. It is related to the museum's 2013 purchase, Ninth Cavalry Colored Troops on Washing Duty in the Gulf, as well as other Spanish-American War works in our collection. The work was known to exist only through the 1904 appearance in the Naval Academy yearbook, and we are very pleased that Mrs. Morrison has placed it in our hands where it will be shared with the public and introduced to the world. The Schoolmaster had to Bear the Brunt of Each Attack a.k.a. No Understand by Frederic Remington, 1901, ink wash on paper, bequest of Phillips and Edna Cavin Taylor, Publication: Garland, Hamlin, "Whiteman’s Court,” Collier’s Weekly, June 1, 1901, p. 11.
When this artwork was loaned to the Museum in 1998, it was with the expectation that it would one day become a donation. This winter Edna Cavin Taylor died (at 104!) leaving the painting to the Museum. According to her daughter, Susan T. Brown, the painting spent years carefully rolled up in Phillips Taylor's Chicago office. Edna had it framed as a gift on their 50th wedding anniversary. The work had belonged to Phillips Taylor's father, David Lee Taylor, who worked in advertising and may have received the work as a gift from Robert Collier of Collier's Weekly, where the painting was reproduced in 1901.
