A painter, author, and ethnographer who devoted himself to recording Indian life-not only in the United States but in South America and Asia as well-George Catlin was an artist with a dream and an all-consuming mission. He wanted to paint the West and its true people. This biography follows the hardships that stood in his way, the dangers of travel in the 1830s, and the barriers that often existed-and still do-between different cultures. Dive deep into George Catlin’s life as the doors to his travel and our land’s history are opened wide for everyone to see in this true Wild West adventure.
