With four illustrations in color by Maynard Dixon. Maynard Dixon’s mentor, Charles Lummis, encouraged Dixon at the beginning of his painting career to leave California, and “travel East to see the real West”. Maynard Dixon did just that, traveling through Montana, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. These trips provided Maynard Dixon with the inspiration to create. He was perpetually drawn to the scenes and peoples inhabiting these remote western lands.
