Edgar Samuel Paxson (1852–1919) was an American artist, primarily known for his paintings depicting historical and frontier scenes of the American West. Born in East Hamburg, New York, Paxson moved to Montana in 1877, where he became deeply immersed in the history and culture of the region.

Paxson's artistic career was marked by his dedication to preserving and illustrating the history of the American West. He painted scenes of Native American life, explorers, fur traders, and military expeditions, contributing to the visual documentation of the frontier. His work often portrayed the challenges faced by pioneers and the interactions between settlers and Native American tribes.

One of Paxson's notable works is "Custer's Last Stand," a historical painting depicting the Battle of Little Bighorn, a significant event in American history. His detailed and dramatic portrayal of this pivotal moment showcased his ability to capture the intensity and emotion of historical events.

In addition to historical scenes, Paxson also painted landscapes, genre scenes, and portraits, showcasing the diversity of his artistic talent. His work reflected a deep appreciation for the West and a commitment to preserving its history through art.

Edgar Samuel Paxson's legacy endures through his contributions to the artistic representation of the American West, providing a visual record of the people and events that shaped the region during a critical period of expansion and change.
