x, 109 pp. From the collections of The Rochester Historical Society, Rush Rhees Library of the University of Rochester, Rochester Museum and Science Center, and Kennedy Galleries, Inc. Lee's watercolor sketches of what he saw on the trail and at the West Texas forts are reproduced here for the first time. Of the 154 Lee watercolor and pencil sketches known to exist, more than 30 are views of the Southwestern frontier. Twenty-eight of them are shown here in full-color, same-size facsimile reproductions. Sixteen are scenes in or near Fort Davis in the Davis Mountains of West Texas... Another thirty of Lee's paintings are reproduced here in black-and-white. Most of them show the Winnebago country of Minnesota as Lee saw it as a young officer in the early 1840's. Two other scenes are of Mexico remembered by Lee from his duty in the Mexican War. Also included is a reproduction of the only oil portrait by Lee known to still exist. It is of Comanche Chief Yellow Wolf, a personal friend of Lee's.--jacket
