Most but not all the selections come from journals or diaries kept during trips to the West. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThomas Moran, for instance, notes what others must have felt, that \"the impression then made upon me by the stupendous and remarkable manifestations of nature's forces will remain with me as long as memory lasts.\" That impression of grandeur echoes the vast and dramatic canvasses Moran created on his trips west. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDifferent \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eTravellers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, Different Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e is not an art-history book. The narrators are not art historians. Their works adorn the walls of museums, fill the pages of art books, fetch large sums at auction, and (as reproductions) illustrate histories of the early American West. Chances are slim, however, that the casual reader has read a word these artists wrote. This gathering brings the best of this literary art out of the shadows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Christian University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780875652429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.06h x 7.00w x 0.82d","brand":"Peter Wild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43471095464117,"sku":"9780875652429","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0b509229-2ca4-416b-8a16-1fe1cc9e5e46.jpg?v=1704822549","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/different-travelers-different-eyes-artists-narratives-of-the-american-west-1820-1920-9780875652429","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
