Book excerpt: Paine (1871-1925) was an American journalist and author popular in the early 20th century who later held both elected and appointed government offices. At Yale he was on the football and rowing teams and covered athletics for a news syndicate. He graduated in 1894, after which he worked for the Philadelphia Press until 1901. He was involved in an escapade during the Cuban War of Independence which led to him being indited for piracy, necessitating his going into hiding for a month. Luckily, through the influence of a powerful sheriff, a co-owner of the boat concerned, all charges were dropped and he returned to his job with the Phildelphia Press. He reported on the Spanish-American War and in 1900 covered the Boxer Rebellion and was with forces of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Tientsin and Peking. In 1902 he joined the New York Herald, then became managing editor of the New York Telegraph, but in 1903 left journalism to become a prolific writer of history and fiction on topics including piracy, merchant shipping, naval vessels, college life and sports. During WWI he worked for the Committee on Public Information and the US Department of the Navy, writing about Allied naval forces. Fom 1918-20 he represented Durham in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, then from 1919-21 he served on the New Hampshire Board of Education. This collection of seafaring stories was first published together in book form in 1906. With six illustrations and a facsimile of the original cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few who appreciate the visual arts or the American Southwest can behold the masterpieces Sangre de Cristo Mountains or Haystack, Taos Valley, 1927 or Bend in the River, 1941 and come away without a vivid image burned into memory. The creator of these and many other depictions of the Southwest and its people was Ernest L. Blumenschein, cofounder of the famous Taos art colony. This insightful, comprehensive biography examines the character and life experiences that made Blumenschein one of the foremost artists of the twentieth century. Robert W. Larson and Carole B. Larson begin their life of “Blumy” with his Ohio childhood and trace his development as an artist from early study in Cincinnati, New York City, and Paris through his first career as a book and magazine illustrator. Blumenschein and artist Bert G. Phillips discovered the budding art community of Taos, New Mexico, in 1898. In 1915 the two along with Joseph Henry Sharp, E. Irving Couse, and other like-minded artists organized the Taos Society of Artists, famous for preferring American subjects over European themes popular at the time. Leaving illustration work behind, Blumenschein sought a distinctive place in his American homeland and in fine-art painting. He moved with his family to Taos in 1919 and began his long career as a figurative and landscape painter, becoming prominent among American artists for his Pueblo Indian figures and stunning southwestern landscapes. Robert Larson calls Blumenschein a “transformational artist,” trained classically but drawing to a limited degree on abstract representation. Placing Blumy’s life in the context of World War I, the Great Depression, and other national and world events, the authors show how an artistic genius turned a fascination with the people, light, and color of New Mexico into a body of work of lasting significance to the international art world.
