Product Description
During the final decade of his century-long life, pioneer artist and photographer William Henry Jackson became a living symbol of the Old West. Jackson painted scenes of the Oregon Trail and traded stories with other old-timers who met regularly at the Explorers Club and the Adventurers' Club in New York City. One of his closest friends, a young man named Elwood R. Bonney, kept a journal of Jackson's recollections and accomplishments during those years. Based on Bonney's journal, this book is an engaging look at a man whose life and work spanned the development and transformation of the West, from the 1860s to World War II.
