Frederic
Remington was born in 1861 in Canton, New York, the son
of a Republican newspaper publisher named Seth Pierre
who was a Colonel in the cavalry and a Civil war commander.
His mother was named Clara Sackrider. From his father,
he inherited an interest in the cavalry and military operations.
He did not, however, inherit his father’s trim figure,
as Remington was 5 foot 9 inches and weighed in at 300
pounds.
In his youth, Remington enjoyed hunting and was also an
avid horseman. Remington attended the Highland Military
Academy in Worcester, Massachusetts through his high school
years. Afterwards, he was educated at the Yale College
School of Art where he was not the best of students and
preferred playing football over art.
