by: Strong, Lisa

Hardcover. Amon Carter Museum of American Art, 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 238 pages. The first artist to journey into the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Alfred Jacob Miller (1810-1874) executed more than 100 watercolor and pen-and-ink sketches during an expedition to accompany Scottish nobleman William Drummond Stewart. Strong examines how Miller tailored his work to suit the specific needs and interests of local American audiences and explores how his paintings helped promote a vision of Scottish aristocratic identity.
