Thomas 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.
Different Travellers, Different Eyes 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.
