Prominent art historians Philip Conisbee, Sarah Faunce, Jeremy Strick, Peter Galassi, and Vincent Pomarede discuss the cultural, theoretical, and art historical background of this school of outdoor painting.

A rich selection of representative paintings is discussed and reproduced. The book is the catalogue for an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Saint Louis Art Museum.

History and Genealogy of the Mayflower Planters
If you are hunting for a Mayflower ancestor, you will find a great deal of pedigree material on the Mayflower planters and other early settlers in Plymouth and Cape Cod in this mammoth work.

Since four of Hopkins' children intermarried with descendants of many of the "first comers" to Plymouth and Cape Cod, this work is brimming with Mayflower connections.
