William Louis Sonntag, Artist of the Ideal, 1822-1900
Eating from the same pot : African Creek slavery -- Like a terrible fire on the prairie : African Creeks and the Civil War -- To do more than the government has seen fit to do : reconstructing race in the Creek nation -- Times seem to be getting very ticklish : African Creeks and the Green Peach War -- The strong vein of Negro blood : Creek racial politics and citizenship -- If I ain't one, you won't find another one here : African Creek identity, allotment, and the Dawes Commission -- A measure so insulting as this : Jim Crow in the Indian country.
American Paintings at Harvard
This volume features nearly 500 paintings, watercolors, pastels, and miniatures from Harvard University's storied, yet little-known, collection of American art. These works, many unpublished, are drawn from the Harvard Art Museums, the University Portrait Collection, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, and other entities, and date from the early colonial years to the mid-19th century. Highlights include a rare group of 17th-century portraits, along with important paintings by Robert Feke, John Singleton Copley, Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert Stuart, and Washington Allston, in addition to works depicting western and Native American subjects by Alexandre de Batz, Henry Inman, and Alfred Jacob Miller, among others. Each work is accompanied by scholarly commentary that draws on extensive new research, as well as a complete exhibition and reference history. An introduction by Theodore E. Stebbins Jr. describes the history of the collection. Lavishly illustrated in color, this compendium is a testament to the nation's oldest collection of American art, and an essential resource for scholars and collectors alike.
