Correspondence and notes relating to frontier artists Carvalho, Cushing, Eakins, Egloffstein, Holmes, Moran [microform] / Robert Taft. [1858-1953]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/144671415

This collection consists mainly of correspondence and notes of Dr. Robert Taft relating to the preparation of his book "Artists and Illustrators of the Old West" (New York : Scribner, 1953). A highlight of this collection is the inclusion of part of the journal kept by Balduin Möllhausen, who accompanied the expedition of Joseph C. Ives in 1858, which traversed northern Arizona and the Grand Canyon region, at one point actually descending to the Colorado River via Diamond Creek. In fact, much of the volume of this collection concerns Mr. Möllhausen and the attempts by Dr. Taft to gather biographical information about him.
