T.C. Steele's appreciation of nature, combined with his intelligence and capacity for concentrated study, raised his works to an extraordinary level. This story of his life and work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is an indispensible chapter in the art and cultural history of Indiana, the Midwest, and the nation. This revised edition of the 1966 classic includes 74 full color Steele paintings from the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites, the Indiana University Museum of Art, and private collectors from around the state. These paintings, many of which have never been published, demonstrate the importance of Steele to the art world - in his time and in ours.
Paint and Canvas: A Life of TC Steele traces the path of Steele's career as an artist from his early studies in Gemany to his determination to paint what he knew best, the Indiana landscape. Steele, along with fellow artists William Forsyth, Otto Stark, Richard Gruelle and L. Ottis Adams, became a member of the renowned Hoosier Group and became a leader in the development of Midwestern art. In addition to creating artwork, Steele wrote and gave lectures, served on numerous art juries to select paintings and prizes for national and international exhibitions and helped organize pioneering art associations and societies.
The sudden passing of a mother devoted to the worship and acknowledgment of the Lord God in the rearing of her children, when shes the only parent in the family, is a traumatic and enduring time that will expose vulnerabilities to the moral foundation and essence of the family. Confronted with one adversity after another by the wicked conduct of his siblings through betrayal, the son never wavered in his love, commitment, and devotion to his mother and God, despite the insidious evil and turbulent obstacles in our society to stop him. Lovingly and Orderly: A sons lament is a true-life melodrama revealing the vague, forsaken dark realm of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Probate Division, where the adherence to law and procedure is a blind myth for those seeking justice on behalf of the dearly departed who no longer feel the acute pain of injustice in the United States of America.

Touching and Emotional Correspondence of the Former President with Alice, Theodore III, Kermit, Ethel, Archibald, and Quentin from Their Early Childhood Until Their Adulthood
Most of the letters in this book were written by Theodore Roosevelt to his children during a period of more than twenty years. A few others are included which he wrote to friends or relatives about the children. He began to write to them in their early childhood, and continued to do so regularly till they reached maturity. Whenever he was separated from them, in the Spanish War, or on a hunting trip, or because they were at school, he sent them these messages of constant thought and love, for they were never for a moment out of his mind and heart. Long before they were able to read he sent them what they called "picture letters," with crude drawings of his own illustrations of the written text, drawings precisely adapted to the childish imagination and intelligence. That the little recipients cherished these delightful missives is shown by the tender care with which they preserved them from destruction. They are in good condition after many years of loving usage. A few of them are reproduced on these pages--written at different periods as each new child appeared in the household.
