From
artists, to illustrators,
photographers,
writers,
and
publishers,
American History
is filled with adventurous characters who set out to document
the events, people, and scenes that made this country grand. In many
cases, these individuals often braved the elements, dangerous conditions,
and battle grounds to document their experiences, travels, and views, in illustrations, written
materials, and photographs.
On these pages can be found
many of the people and
companies who documented
America' history
in images and written words. There are far too many people who
have spent countless hours compiling
American History
to list
them all; so these pages focus on some of the more famous; and, primarily on those who have "contributed" to
Legends of America's
many pages. Throughout the website are numerous photographs and
illustrations by some of these talented
artists
and
photographers, as well as articles, quotes, and
even one entire book, written by these historic folks.
Historical Text appears
throughout
Legends of America.
Here, you will find excerpts and full articles from
historical newspapers, periodicals, and books, written in the late 1800's
and early 20th century. Read the words of those who actually witnessed the
frontier, its hardships, successes, from those who are well-known, such as
soldiers
and
Presidents, to the ordinary pioneer traveling in wagons, on
horses, and trains across the vast west.
On nearly every history page, you find photographs and art from
numerous talented people who left their marks through illustrations,
paintings and early photography.
These artists and photographers have not given an enhanced view of our
past; but, also, greatly enhanced our pages for our readers.
