Albert Bierstadt Witness to a Changing West by Peter H. Hassrick. As one of America’s most prominent nineteenth-century painters, Albert Bierstadt (1830–1902) is justly renowned for his majestic paintings of the western landscape. Yet Bierstadt was also a painter of history, and his figural works, replete with images of Plains Indians and the American bison, are an important part of his legacy as well. In this splendid full-color volume, Peter H. Hassrick highlights Albert Bierstadt's achievements in chronicling a rapidly changing American West. Hard cover includes 217 pages. ISBN 9780806160054
