Hendricks' biography "has drawn on many sources, including Eakins' letters, contemporary journals and newspapers, and other documents, to bring into clear focus the rather mystifying figure who lived and worked quietly in conservative nineteenth-century Philadelphia, yet managed to create scandals through both his teaching and his paintings."--From the dw. Very good .
