In Pursuit of the White Buffalo
by Frank C. McCarthy
Sioux hunters pursue a rare white buffalo, its robe considered “big
medicine” to be passed reverently from generation to generation and
could command the price of 10 to 15 horses. Estimates based on hide
trader’s records indicate that a white bison occurred only once in
every five million animals. Plains Indians trained their best horses to
hunt buffalo. But the white buffalo was elusive, often seeming to be
sheltered by the rest of the herd as if the others had an instinctive
sense that its color made it somehow special. These Sioux hunters may
be close but the outcome is far from certain.

New Sounds in an Ancient Canyon
by William S. Phillips
Phillips’
passion for aviation is second only to his infatuation with the
American experience and the impact that the land, its people, its
history and its values have upon one another. This is what he calls he
American Landscape, paintings about a time, a place and the course of
American events.
The Grand Canyon is the
iconic American landscape. For millennia, the only sounds heard in the
Canyon were those of the elements and all things wild. As man arrived
the sounds of early domestication could, only faintly, be heard. By the
late 1800s, outfits such as Wellington Starky’s Diamond Bar Ranch
heralded the news that cattle was king, even in the Grand Canyon.
In 1919, man took to the skies over the Canyon for the first time. A
mere nine years later, Grand Canyon Airlines was taking tourists on
scenic flights in Ford Tri-Motors such as this one, bouncing the drone
of radial engines from ancient rim to ancient rim. Flights such as this
confirmed that as yet another era neared its end in the Canyon, a new
one had begun as the crown jewel of the American Landscape.
