Book excerpt: James Earle Fraser-born the same year as Custer's Last Stand, 1876-spent his childhood on the frontier. He was in daily contact with American Indians and admired them. When he heard trappers predict the "Indian will be pushed into the Pacific Ocean," he was troubled and formed an image in his mind. While working at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, Fraser was inspired to sculpt a small model of his idea. How this image-End of the Trail-became an icon in American Western Art is the subject of W. E. Mueller's book. Mueller also explores the sculptor's Indian head-buffalo nickel, and provides highlights of Fraser's life-America's most famous unknown artist

Book excerpt: In a salty, slashing style, Tristan Jones unfolds his extraordinary saga—a six-year voyage during which he covered a distance equal to twice the circumference of the world—revealing both a rich sense of history and an insuppressible Welsh wit. With a singleness of purpose as ferocious as any hazard he encountered, Tristan Jones would not give up—even after dodging snipers on the Red Sea, capsizing off the Cape of Good Hope, starving in the Amazon, struggling for 3,000 miles against the mightiest sea current in the world, and hauling his boat over the rugged Andes three miles above sea level to find at last the legendary Island of the Sun. And beyond lay the most awesome challenge of all: the tortuous trek through 6,000 miles of uncharted rivers to find his way back to the ocean.
