Charles Craig was born in Morgan County, Ohio, in 1846, and started sketching as a young boy. Craig was largely a self-taught artist, except for a year spent at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, and work/study with Peter Moran, brother of John Moran. Craig drew upon personal experience for subject matter. At the age of 19, Craig had left Ohio for four years of life with various Native American Tribes of the West. In 1881 Craig moved to Colorado Springs, where he would remain for 50 years, painting, exhibiting, and teaching to supplement his income.
