Note:"The early American West has been depicted in art as a land of harsh struggles, a place of heavenly miracles, and everything in between. The narratives in Different Travellers, Different Eyes record journal and diary impressions of life in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century western American frontier. And some of the artists' writings portray a picture far different from their well-known paintings, sculptures and photographs. Different Travellers, Different Eyes includes memoirs by: Titian R. Peale, George Catlin, Alfred Jacob Miller, John James Audubon, Father Nicolas Point, Paul Kane, Samuel Chamberlain, Frank Marryat, Solomon Nunes Carvalho, Balduin Mollhausen, Worthington Whittredge, William Keith, Kicking Bear (Mato Wanahtaka), Mary Hallock Foote, Frederic Remington, Thomas Moran, Emily Carr, Ernest L. Blumenschein, Maynard Dixon, Edward S. Curtis, and Charles M. Russell."--Jacket.
