On letterhead dated February 8, 1933, ideas for structural changes to the main house are put forth. The signer sends recovery wishes to Mrs. Brunel, and to Mr. Brunel 'Une cordiale poignee de main'. With the letter, an original photograph of a man and boy seated at the base of Moon Haw Haw, the sculpture of a male figure with a single feather at the rear of his head looking skwyards towards the Burroughs Range to the west with both arms outstretched, palms facing upwards. The sculptures created in the 1930s now comprise the Emile Brunel Sculpture Garden and Studio, then known as the Totem Indian Trading Post, Le Chalet Indien, and Brunel Park. Brunel came to the U.S. in 1904 at the age of 30. He set out for the West, where for several years he made a living as an itinerant painter, focusing on scenes of the vanishing frontier life and painting signs and broadsides for traveling circuses and whiskey makers. Shortly after his arrival he met his future wife, Gladyse McCloud, a 14-year-old girl working as a caricaturist at one of the circuses. (He would send for her after his commercial success as a photographer). Through success in photography and film (working for Cecil B. DeMille among others), he established himself as a photojournalist for the New York Times Magazine, in 1910 founded the New York Institute of Photography, and started a chain of photo studios in the upscale commercial districts in Manhattan, including studios in Tiffany's and Bloomingdales. He began purchasing the land around an existing hotel in the Catskills in 1918, eventually acquiring 77 acres, the foundation of Le Chalet Indien. Brunel exhibited Native art and artifacts he had collected out west along with his own sculptures that he had started making in the years after he had bought the land. In 1929 he built a home and studio in an Arts and Crafts style evoking the farmhouses of his native France. -adapted from Wikipedia.…
