He served as machine gun instructor during World War I, then took up trade as a cowboy, guide, and packer. Later he spent four years at the Art Institute of Chicago where, to use Joe's words, he \"damn near starved to death.\" Art education changed his life, however, and although he went back to packing and guiding, he also became nationally known as a sculptor. Joe Back died September 7, 1986 at age 87--through the magic of his illustrations and writing we celebrate and share his work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnson Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39827351470195,"sku":"9781555664770","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_1ec6f26b-8044-45a4-9365-4b1236b36e5e.jpg?v=1644565693","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/horses-hitches-and-rocky-trails-9781555664770","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
