== Cowboy career ==
Bascom was known as the Cowboy of Cowboy Artists due to his wide range of western experiences as a professional [[bronc buster]], bull rider, [[cowpuncher]], trail driver, [[blacksmith]], freighter, [[wolf]] hunter, [[wild horse]] chaser, [[rodeo]] champion, cattle rancher, dude [[wrangler (profession)|wrangler]], and [[Hollywood (film industry)|Hollywood]] actor.<ref>''Roundup Magazine'' "Rodeo Champion

The sight, the sounds, the smell I can still remember.<ref>"American Hero Earl W. Bascom". (Summer 1995), ''United Lumbee Nation Times''</ref>}}
For Bascom, ranch life and cowboy life was his life. "The life of a cowboy and the West, I know," he stated.<ref>Alberta Beef "Cowboy Artist, Earl W. Bascom" (October 1995, page 30)</ref> Bascom worked on some of the largest horse and cattle ranches in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]] – ranches that ran thousands of cattle on a million acres (4000 km<sup>2</sup>) of land. He broke and trained hundreds of horses. He worked on ranches where he chased and gathered horses, cows and even donkeys in [[Utah]], [[Arizona]], [[Colorado]], [[Idaho]], [[Wyoming]], [[Montana]], [[Texas]], [[Mississippi]], [[Washington (U.S. state)|Washington]], [[California]] and western Canada. He worked on cattle drives out of the [[Rocky Mountains|Rockies]] and horse drives through the [[Teton Range]]. He took part on large roundups of horses and cattle, and brandings. He made [[Western saddle|saddles]] and [[stirrup]]s, [[quirt]]s, [[chaps]], [[spur]]s, [[bridle]]s and [[horse tack#Bits|bits]], [[rope]]s and [[hackamore]]s, and even patched his own [[cowboy boot|boots]].<ref>Buckle News "Rodeo Champion – Cowboy Artist, Earl W.

A professional rodeo [[cowboy]], Bascom followed the rodeo circuit internationally, rodeoing from 1916 to 1940, where he won several all-around championships. He competed in the rough stock events of saddle [[bronc riding]], bareback riding and [[bull riding]], and in the timed events of steer decorating and [[steer wrestling]].<ref>ProRodeo Sports News "Bascom dies at 89" (September 13, 1995)</ref> In 1933, he set a new arena record, a new world record time and won third place in the world standings in the steer decorating event.

But what about my art, what about art school?"<ref name="auto">''United Lumbee Nation Times'', Summer 1995 {{page?|date=September 2024}}</ref>
Wanting to be an artist since childhood, Bascom filled the pages of his school books in the one-room school house he attended with cowboy scenes. His desire to be a cowboy artist was greatly enhanced after seeing art works of the two great icons of [[American Old West|Old West]] art, [[Charles Marion Russell|Charles M. Russell]] and [[Frederic Remington|Frederic S. Remington]] – both cousins to his father, John W. Bascom (Remington and Russell were both related to Bascom through their mothers, Clarissa "Clara" Bascom Sackrider Remington and Mary Elizabeth Mead Russell, respectively).<ref>{{cite web |title=Earl Bascom |url=https://famousmormons.net/famous-mormon-artists/earl-bascom/ |website=Famous Mormons |access-date=December 23, 2019 |archive-date=April 26, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180426144408/https://famousmormons.net/famous-mormon-artists/earl-bascom/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
Russell was on the Knight Ranch when Bascom was working there, and had drawn a [[sketch (drawing)|sketch]] on the bunkhouse wall and also finished a large [[oil painting]] of [[Raymond Knight (rodeo organizer)|Raymond Knight]] on his favorite mount, Blue Bird, roping a [[Cattle#Terminology|steer]].{{
Although Bascom was educated in one-room school houses and only completed one full school year, never finishing high school, he never lost his desire to be an artist. He subscribed to a correspondence art course wherein both Russell and Remington gave instructions on their drawing techniques. "Through those art lessons these two masters of western art were my first real art teachers," Bascom recalled. "In fact the only instructions I ever had in western art were from Remington and Russell."<ref name="auto"/>
Even though he had no high school diploma, the [[Brigham Young University]] in [[Provo, Utah]], accepted him as a student in the fall of 1933. "There I was a 27 years old college freshman who hadn't been to school in years," Bascom recalled. "I felt like a wild horse in a pen."<ref name="auto"/> But as a BYU student,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://newspapers.lib.utah.edu/details?id=21519041&rows=50&q=%22earl+bascom%22|title=Vernal Express
