A feud among Indians of the old frontier.
After serving in the Army during World War I, Jerome Rozen (1895-1987) attended the Art Institute of Chicago and graduated in 1921. By 1923, he was working as an art instructor and soon moved to New York City to pursue a career in commercial art.
Jerome’s first published assignments were interior pen and ink story illustrations for Fawcett’s “Triple-X Magazine.” He created covers for pulp magazines “Battle Stories,” “Complete Stories,” “Over the Top,” “The Popular Magazine,” “War Birds,” and “Western Story.” In 1931, he painted the earliest original pulp magazine covers for “The Shadow,” but in 1932 his twin brother George took over when Jerome shifted focus to advertising and slick magazine illustration. Jerome produced artwork for companies like Schlitz Beer and Shell Oil well into the later years of his career. [Source: PulpArtists.com]
