American Heritage History of the Great West

New York, Simon & Schuster. 1965. Hardcover, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Book, DJ has shelf wear at head and foot of spine, plus some rubbing, especially at flap hinges. Unmarked text. From the back cover: The West and the people who went west have been represented and misrepresented in many ways and in many media. Some artists -- from Bierstadt to Remington -- made lasting reputations with their paintings of Western subjects, and THE GREAT WEST includes many of thier works. But a large part of the 458 illustrations in this book consists of "finds," most of them hitherto hidden in archives and private collections, many published here for the first time. These include secret maps, drawings made ont he way west, paintings by artists who accompanied government survey and exploration parties, sketches by military and naval artists, pictures by early photographers. Very Good/Very Good.
