Cowboy Artists of America by Michael Duty, Don Hedgpeth Western Art
Howard Terpning, often referred to as the "Storyteller of the Native American People," has concentrated his award-filled career on painting the major Great Plains tribes: Blackfeet, Sioux, Cheyenne, Crow, Commanche, and Apache. Terpning's images are powerful and sweeping, yet profoundly intimate in the way they include the viewer in the emotion of each scene, like the sweetness in a young girl's passage into womanhood or the youthful pride of a new warrior. His paintings chronicle the Plains Indians' "glory days" in the early nineteenth century until their displacement as a result of the westward expansion of the white man.
Western historian Don Hedgpeth interweaves a stirring narrative about the tribes' final, desperate years and the spiritual basis to all aspects of their lives.

Mark Mardon (Contributor), Bev Doolittle (Introduction)
"Lyman celebrates the importance of the wilderness through his beautiful paintings and extraordinary photos. Through Lyman's art, and in the words of writer and former Sierra magazine editor Mark Mardon, the reader can experience the deep quiet of the woods, find serenity at the water's edge, climb mountains, and be at home in the wilderness."
