He wanted to paint the West and its true people. This biography follows the hardships that stood in his way, the dangers of travel in the 1830s, and the barriers that often existed-and still do-between different cultures.

Dive deep into George Catlin's life as the doors to his travel and our land's history are opened wide for everyone to see in this true Wild West adventure.
