Letter from Jacob Miller to James B. Finley
Full text linkJacob Miller has heard that Finley might be removing his name from the Franklinton Division of the Sons of Temperance. He hopes that this will not happen because the members think of Finley as the Father of Franklinton Division. Miller has been very busy organizing a Washingtonian Society (movement founded in 1840\u27s, very similar to Alcoholics Anonymous). He would like Finley to send him copies of the temperance magazine, Western Fountain, published out of Cincinnati. He would like to introduce the publication to members of the Division and the Washingtonian Society. Abstract Number - 453https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1651/thumbnail.jp

Review of \u3ci\u3eAlfred Jacob Miller: Artist On the Oregon Trail\u3c/i\u3e
Full text linkThis volume is devoted to the life and oeuvre of the American artist, Alfred Jacob Miller. Historians, art historians, anthropologists, and geographers are indebted to Miller, who depicted the American wilderness frontier. In 1837, the flamboyant Scots nobleman and soldier, William Drummond Stewart, chose Miller as the artist who would record his odyssey to the Rocky Mountains. With forty five men and twenty carts, Miller and Stewart traveled along what became the Oregon Trail to Horse Creek in Wyoming, where the artist witnessed the 1837 rendezvous of mountain men, Indians, and traders. The rendezvous and subsequent excursions into the Wind River Mountains provided Miller with episodes and scenes that he painted for the rest of his life, including the colorful mountain men who soon vanished with the collapse of the fur trade. In addition to its haunting and delicate quality, Miller\u27s art is an important visual record of the Rocky Mountain frontier.
This important and handsome volume includes an introduction by Peter H. Hassrick, essays by William R. Johnston, Ron Tyler, and Carol Clark, a catalogue of the exhibition Alfred Jacob Miller: Artist on the Oregon Trail, a map of Stewart\u27s route, a catalogue raisonne by Johnston and Karen Dewees Reynolds, and comments by Warder H. Cadbury on the chromolithographs of Miller. Johnston examines Miller\u27s education and his life in Baltimore before and after the western adventure. In Alfred Jacob Miller and Sir William Drummond Stewart, Tyler provides a useful, detailed account of the trip west, and he studies the relationship between the artist and his patron. Carol Clark in A Romantic Painter in the American West reviews how Miller\u27s training and the reigning artistic trends influenced him and how Stewart left his mark on the work of Miller. She compares Miller to his two famous contemporaries, Karl Bodmer and George Catlin. Bodmer\u27s works are crisp and detailed, with definitive line .... His chosen colors are naturalistic and brilliant, Clark writes. Catlin\u27s portraits at best are noble images of a vanishing people, but sometimes they fail in their awkwardness. They are outstanding, however, in the dramatic palette he discovered to be perfect for tribal imagery (p. 57). Miller was the most romantic of the three artists; his Indian subjects lived in an arcadian wilderness, especially when he painted them in a vague, almost cloud-filled setting (p. 57). Stewart and his chosen artist, Miller, were not interested in the literal view of the West .... These were pictures for a Scotsman\u27s personal pleasure and, for Miller, the raw material of future commissions (pp. 51-52).
Alfred Jacob Miller: Artist On the Oregon Trail will stand as the definitive statement about this artist whose oeuvre is a significant visual record of the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains nearly 150 years ago
