The definitive biography of Joseph Jacinto Mora (1876 – 1947), a Uruguayan-born American cowboy, photographer, artist, cartoonist, illustrator, painter, muralist, sculptor, and historian who lived with the Hopi and wrote about his experiences in California. He has been called the "Renaissance Man of the West". "An essential addition to any collection of WEstern art and Americana... provides an in-depth portrait of this gifted artist. Author and Mora scholar Peter Hiller interweaves fascinating biographical material with Mora's personal letters, journal entries and other writings - many never before seen by the public - to provide an intimate study of a significant yet often overlooked artist." - Prospectus.
