520 |a "Paul Kane's Travels brings together the complete writings, sketches and art of a figure whose paintings and especially field sketches were known as one of the first visual documents of Western indigenous life. It presents for the first time all three extant stages of the narrative of the artist' s travels from Toronto to Victoria and back between 1845 and 1848. It measurably elaborates previous biographical sketches of Kane, and it contextualizes his travels in fur-trade history and its scholarship. It studies his art in terms of works by his contemporaries, his technique, and the complicated history of the provenance of the works. Moreover, it lays the groundwork for and then conducts extensive discussions of the pertinence of his verbal and visual documentary record to Indigenous Studies in both Canada and the United States. By focusing on Kane's field art, Paul Kane's Travels departs from previous studies, which emphasize his subsequent studio productions. The work matches the relevant portions of Kane's field writings and of a scribal draft manuscript (both transcribed by MacLaren) with the text of the Preface and twenty-five chapters of the first edition of Wanderings of an Artist Among the Indians of North America (1859). Each of the 26 sections contains commentary and analyses comparing and contrasting the content for the first time of these stages of the Kane narrative. The work brings to bear on word and image the questions and methods of ethnohistory, fur-trade history, art history (both Canadian and American), and book history (both bibliography and travel literature). The analyses treat all but thirty of Kane's 750 field sketches from his 1845, and 1846-1848 travels across the middle and western parts of North America that are now occupied by four states and five provinces. The work includes seven appendices, four of which pertain to the identification of Kane's artworks at different points in time, two of which place on view for the first time and discuss two momentous events, one in the life of the artist, the other in the provenance of his field writings and art. As well, the work contains a correction/revision of the more than 800-item catalogue raisonné that J. Russell Harper published fifty years ago in Paul Kane's Frontier (1971), and which has not since been reissued."--  |c Provided by publisher.
