Dedication: "To all the documentary artist who left to us a realistic portrayal of the story of the Old West -- and especially to the pioneer and dean of them all, George Catlin." Harold McCracken
A good book to broaden your view of the history of the Western United States and to understand the passion that George Catlin had for Native Americans who lived there. The reproductions of Catlin's work is generous and compliments the text. An excellent rrad and visual feast for the eyes.
