Cowboy Poet Badger Clark made a lasting impact on South Dakota, but Tim Davison learns from Bob Cristenson, founding member of the Badger Clark Foundation, that the author’s work was impacted by fellow Deadwood class of 1902 classmate and long-lost love, Helen Fowler. Tim brings the story together in an original oil painting for their annual celebration, BadgerStock, where the raffle winner’s reaction - like good poetry, paintings, and love - is priceless.

More about Badger Clark can be seen found in SDPB’s 2024 documentary, BADGER CLARK – POET AMONG THE PINES. Watch on SDPB Passport, the PBS App or YouTube.
