I watched three episodes of Yellowstone last night. What a terribly maudlin show, that you could tell was leading up to a Native American getting shot by a Angry White Man. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Kevin is going hog wild about his property he owns in the land Roy Rosamond and his wife, Mary Magdalene – roamed – without a cent! Yet they, and their offspring, got what Costner can’t get with all his millions and choice real-estate – a real Western – a sense that you belong here. and are the Real McCoy. After spending fifty million dollars putting their choice property on the line – his wife left him. I think she knows to – want it all -is to lose it all, because you are declaring – you don’t have it!
It! What is – IT? Is IT – a story?
Not far away from the Costner Sea-ranch, I plucked Rena Easton from the edge of the sea, and on Santa Barbara beach, I discovered she is afraid of the ocean. I did a large painting of her. I asked her to send me a photograph of her profile, and she jumped into an old pay photo booth. According to Garth Benton, who is kin to the Western Artist, Thomas Hart Benton, my sister used a projector and images of models cut out of fashion magazines, to become one of the wealthiest artists of our time. Christine Rosamond Benton has Rena Christensen Easton to thank. They met once, in Venice California.
Neither Cristine nor Irene knew Dollie Rosamond was buried on the same grave as her mother, Ida Rosamond, born, Ida Rose On this day, I raise Dollie from the dead, along with Carl Janke and folk, buried in the same grave in Redwood City What if, Dollie survived the Yellow Fever, and become the most beautiful young woman anyone has ever seen? She is called….The Red Rose of Yellowstone! When John Muri came upon her he thought he was seeing things. He swore he saw the ghost of a Greek Goddess.
“She’s different than any human I ever met. I suspect she died of the fever -but then came back. She practically raised herself. She claimed a pack of wolves raised her up!.
One day a handsome young man came into Yellowstone on a horse. riding with him were San Francisco business men. Some of them were foreigners. They wanted to purchase land that Muir wanted included in Yellowstone park. John Janke was the son of Carl Janke who brought six portable houses around the Cape and erected them suth of San Francisco. William Ralston ‘The Man Who Built San Francisco’ bought one, then added to it to make a fine house in the city that would be called….Belmont! It was here that the Janke family built a German Wonderland. These businessmen represent Prussian Royalty who wanted to build their own Vonderland in the wilderness – before it was gone. No sooner did Mr. Janke open his mouth, and deliver The Rose a winning smile, Rena cut him off – at the pass!
“Your’re trespassing on our land. You have no business here. Turn around and go back!
Baron von Studtmeister translated this old phrase into German, then gave his beautful Trakhner horse a slight signal to it’s ribs, and this War Horse – advanced! Rena had been admiring it, and her pack was sniffing it from on the other side of the rocks – that they mounted, and they took in the humans and their pack horses. Ralph Stutdmeistter was impressed. His Teutonic ancestors worshipped the wolf. He was named after a wolf – and the Master of the Horse! . Taking in the startling clear blues eyes of Rena, he lost interest in the cattle, the buffalos, and the giant trees. He had to have her. so did John Janke. And thus began the Great Western Rivalry that would carve out a Hidden Empire, that has remained a secret, to this day.
Rena told me her three older sisters were models, and one was the mistress of Robert Vesco.
“How come you don’t want to be a model like your sisters?”
“I don’t like their lifestyle!”
Rena got married again to a man who owns a small cattle ranch in Montana. What does that tell you?
Ms. Easton, I tried to tell you, I tried to give you, the title Sleeping Beauty. I told you were responsible for Rosamond’s success, and the success of Sarah Moon – who copied my sister’s style. His fans thought I was Sarah – an Iranian man who disguised himself as a woman! His real identity was unknow for many years. Sounds like the problem you got in Montana – that more gnarly cowboyism will solve?
. On Monday I will be taking two floppy discs to my computer guy to get them on the right track so I can publish them. The Gideon Computer is unfinished, but Chameleon Art – is done! This prophetic short story was written in 1987, the years I got sober.
“This is the birth of Artificial Intelligence!”
I will be known as The Emperor of Artistic Artifical Intelligence. You will be known as…
The Artistic Muse of Artificial Intelligence!. You are…..The Empress of Yellowstone!
Kevin! Abandon that project. This is the story the Emperor Computer has written for you to produce! Human Beings want – and need a Love Story – and not a sad story about a billionaire grumblepuss landowner who can’t find happiness. How boring. Not – my problem! When folks read it, they will proclaim…..
“About time!”
I wake up each day vondering how I can render – Rena! At least I used to. Eureka!
John Janke wrote a poem to Rena, first in High German, then, English. Von Studmeister got wind of this poem, and had Joaquin Miller help him with his poem. All three men were members of The Bohemian Club. The greatest poetry contest known to humankind, was underway!
The Amazons of Yellowstone

The Amazon forest
burns hot tonight
my love.
Soon
there will be no oxygen
in the air
To breath, my love
my love of air
is no equal
to my memory of you
In the last
of everything
in the consuming sparks
that dance around the moon
I save my last breath
for you
For you
my last sigh

“Phoebe Hearst, wife of George Hearst and mother of William Randolph Hearst, had a great affection for the town of Anaconda. She offered to build a library for its citizens. They accepted the offer, knowing that a library would give the people a chance to better themselves.”
BORN OF TWO ROSES
A half hour ago I talked to Deborah Cryder at the Forestvale Cemetary. She is going to send me information on Ida Rose who died when she was 28 years of age of dropsy. Twenty days later, Ida’s daughter, Dollie Rosamond, diim short.es. She is less then one year old. Royal Rosamond lost his mother and baby sister in one fail swoop. He must have been traumatized. Then, his father gets remarried to a Mildred, who may not have wanted Frank around, and he is “bound” out to his uncle, James Taylor, who married Ida’s sister, Laura Rosamond. Frank will call William Scott Spaulding his father. Did William adopt Frank? If so, when? I believe there is a typo, in regards to the Reese name. John Wesley Rose buried here. Is this where Frank got his middle name? This would make three generations of the Rose Family buried in Montana.
Edward Haney Rose is the grandfather of Ida Rose, and father of John Wesley Rose.
To be born by a mother born Rosemary Rosamond, who named me John, not knowing her great grandfather was named John Rose, is a genealogical wonder. I will be recording my findings with the Rose Family Association.
The Other Montana Rose
Posted on March 2, 2022 by Royal Rosamond Press
My post and video on Sam Elliot was hasty. I read nothing about The Power of the Dog – till now! I have to consider whether this blog was an influence. The treatment of Rose’s alcoholism – is bull. It is uncanny that I have Victoria Rosemond Bond – who is inspired by Rena – fall in love with her female bodyguard. I did this to get under Putin’s skin because he is vehemently anti-gay as is Pat Roberston. This culture war I have had with Rena is on its way to The Oscars?

The Power Of The Dog Ending Explained | Screen Rant
Rose’s alcoholism worsens after she starts seeing how much time her son spends with Phil.
In a secluded clearing, Phil masturbates with Bronco Henry’s scarf. Peter enters the clearing and finds a stash of magazines with Bronco Henry’s name on them depicting nude men. He observes Phil bathing in a pond with the handkerchief around his neck; Phil notices him and chases him off.
he Power of the Dog (film) – Wikipedia
Sam Elliott railed against Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” during his visit to Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast (via Insider). Campion’s drama is nominated for 12 Oscars, more than any film this year. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as a sadistic rancher who makes life hell for his new sister-in-law and her son in 1925 Montana. Elliott called the film a “piece of shit” and seemed bothered by how the film deconstructs classic Western archetypes such as cowboys. Elliott compared Campion’s cowboys to Chippendale dancers who “wear bow ties and not much else.”
“That’s what all these fucking cowboys in that movie looked like,” Elliott said. “They’re running around in chaps and no shirts. There’s all these allusions of homosexuality throughout the movie.”
Sam Elliott Slams ‘Power of the Dog,’ Criticizes Film’s Homosexuality – Variety
In 1925 Montana, wealthy ranch-owning brothers Phil and George Burbank meet widow and inn owner Rose Gordon during a cattle drive. The kind-hearted George is quickly taken with Rose, while the volatile Phil, much influenced by his late mentor Bronco Henry, mocks Rose’s son Peter for his lisp and effeminate manner.

Today I celebrate thirty years of sobriety. I was hoping my 24 carat gold plated coin would have arrived today. Last week I got information in the mail from Deborah Cryder that said Ida Rose, and her daughter, Dollie Rose, were buried in the same grave. When I saw the stick Deborah put in the ground, I saw a splicing, and the blooming of a True Montana Rose. I will gather my roses here.
Below is a photograph of me placing Christine Rosamond Benton’s AA coin in the tomb of my grandfathers I had found. I found Frank Wesley Rosamond’s burial place in Oklahoma, and put a marker there. Phoebe Hearst financial backed Out West magazine that published Dollie Rosamond’s brothers stories and poems. Today in the mail, I got a book for Dollie, who missed growing up, and becoming a mother. She is now the muse of Poets, and will live forever. Dollie means ‘The Gift of God’ as does John. Montana means ‘Mountain’. Little Miss Rosamond was published in 1906. Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in 1933. Liz and Dollie are found in the same Rosy Family Tree.

Your Name
by Royal Rosamond
The tide was low today, my love
A cadence of the sea was wrought
In melancholy strain, and low and fraught
With whisperings of your name above
The deep sea song!
A shell that lured along the shore
Whispered; “I love you evermore!”
I wrote your name upon the sands –
Would that I traced with gentle hands –
The minor chords were wont to spell
Each syllable!
The tide is high tonight, my dear.
The rock-bound shore loves the wave
But sends it dying to its grave.
The low base notes vie with the fear
The wind send on
The all-encircling gloom
Descended o’er old ocean’s tomb!
Your name is gone tonight, my love:
The angry surge rushed in above.
It cries aloud, with sea gull’s shrill
“I love you still!”
