From the interior flaps: "This volume takes a major step in reappraising Bierstadt's contributions by reexamining the artist through a new lens. It shows how Bierstadt conveyed moral messages through his paintings, often to preserve the dignity of Native people and call attention to the tragic slaughter of the American bison." Volume 30 in the Charles M. Russell Center Series on Art and Photography of the American West.
