Forging an American Identity (hardcover)
This catalogue showcases the work of William Ranney–portraits, sporting scenes, history paintings, and genre scenes of mid-nineteenth-century America. But Ranney is best known for his vivid scenes of western life. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Ranney saw firsthand the western landscape and the trappers, settlers, guides, and other denizens of the frontier. His depictions of the American West appear throughout this handsome catalogue of his work.
