About this work
George Catlin looked back nostalgically on his western adventures years after his final journey to the frontier. “In these delightful amusements,” he wrote, “and with these pleasing companions, I have been for a while participating with great satisfaction; I have joined several times in the deer-hunts . . .” (Catlin, Letters and Notes, vol. 2, no. 33, 1841; reprint 1973)
