Surfing the net for Bud Breen?

There is limited information about Bud Breen on the internet and most of it is easy to find but you do have to dig a little. I can save you a some time. Here are the sites I most often refer people to when they want to know more about Bud Breen and his paintings of the old west.

Alamo Village, The Alamo, Gunfighters, and Brackettville

There's not much of anything at the following site about Bud, but you can see an image of a mural Bud did that hangs in the Bandera, Tx Chamber of Commerce:

If you do a search on this page for the word, "Nakai" you can read about Bud's amazing wife, she inspired a lot of his work:
Cherokee Nation

This New York Times article briefly mentions Bud's wife Nakai in regard to her work with the Kickapoos:

This link mentions Nakai and includes a small image of one of Bud's paintings, a spiritual piece, that depicts Nakai herself:
