Overview
A biography of George Catlin, born in the early 19th century, who studied law but gave it up for art and painted miniature portraits. Then he saw a delegation of Plains Indians, proud and dignified in decorated robes and feathered headdresses, and it changed his life. Between 1831 and 1836 Catlin traveled west by riverboat, canoe, and on horseback. He painted portraits of tribal leaders and scenes of life and culture as he visited the Cheyenne, Sioux, Blackfeet, Crow, Mandan, and other plains tribes. His writings, and collection of Indian clothing, housing, and weapons, also inspired anthropologists, artists, and writers to record the Early West. Juvenile audience.
