It wasn’t until 1963 that Arnold Friberg was actually able to go Canada for the first time. This was many years after his first Canadian Mountie art piece created in the 1930s when he was a young professional artist in Chicago. His trip to the north would have occurred sooner had there not been major changes in Fribergs’ personal life during the late 1950s.

While producing the artwork for The Ten Commandments, tragedy stuck Fribergs’ wife’s (Hedve) family. Her sister, Erma, died lieaving two small children. Arnold and Hedve Friberg adopted the children, to raise and love them as their own.
