Pages : 658
Book Description
Presented in conjunction with the September 2000 exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, this volume presents the complex story of the proliferation of the arts in New York and the evolution of an increasingly discerning audience for those arts during the antebellum period. Thirteen essays by noted specialists bring new research and insights to bear on a broad range of subjects that offer both historical and cultural contexts and explore the city's development as a nexus for the marketing and display of art, as well as private collecting; landscape painting viewed against the background of tourism; new departures in sculpture, architecture, and printmaking; the birth of photography; New York as a fashion center; shopping for home decorations; changing styles in furniture; and the evolution of the ceramics, glass, and silver industries. The 300-plus works in the exhibition and comparative material are extensively illustrated in color and bandw. Oversize: 9.25x12.25". Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Book Description
In compiling this work the author, Lucullus McWhorter, focused on many before unpublished records, history and traditions of the pioneers of the most interesting region of our entire western border. Nowhere in the conquest of the New World was there a territory so fraught with dramatic tragedy, personal prowess and adventure, as the Trans-Allegheny. For more than twenty years, which included the Revolutionary struggle, the Indians and white pioneers were locked in a deadly, cruel, fierce and unrelenting conflict for control of this wild and beautiful region. The Border Settlers of Northwestern Virginia from 1768 to 1795 provides the reader with invaluable details and material including individual biographies, notes, appendices, reports, letters, Draper correspondence and contributions, and more.

Cogewea, the Half Blood
Author: Mourning DovePublisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803281103
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
One of the first known novels by a Native American woman, Cogewea (1927) is the story of a half-blood girl caught between the worlds of Anglo ranchers and full-blood reservation Indians; between the craven and false-hearted easterner Alfred Densmore and James LaGrinder, a half-blood cowboy and the best rider on the Flathead; between book learning and the folk wisdom of her full-blood grandmother. The book combines authentic Indian lore with the circumstance and dialogue of a popular romance; in its language, it shows a self-taught writer attempting to come to terms with the rift between formal written style and the comfort-able rhythms and slang of familiar speech.
