Product Description
This striking full-color collection of over 160 paintings, with text by Pulitzer Prize -- winning historian William H. Goetzmann, is a book of uncommon visual pleasure and historical importance. Sam Chamberlain was a fascinating character, a writer, artist, and adventurer whose ribald life story rivals that of Jack Crabb in Little Big Man. Private Sam Chamberlain was the most prolific artist of the 1846-1847 war with Mexico. In hundreds of lively watercolors, he provided up-close views of the battles, marches, atrocities, massacres, seductions, and tall tales of the Mexican War. No official account has ever matched the immediacy of his portrayals -- in watercolor and in prose -- of this critical event in the history of the United States and Mexico.
