George Catlin and His Indian Gallery examines Catlin's life and art, including 120 color plates, is co-published by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and W.W. Norton & Company. The publication includes an illustrated commentary by Joan Troccoli; and essays by Christopher Mulvey, Brian Dippie, and Therese Heyman chronicle Catlin's constantly changing circumstances through his far-flung travels and many careers. An introduction by W.
