Catlin's Lament: Indians, Manifest Destiny, and the Ethics of Nature
John Hausdoerffer
George Catlin gained renown for his nineteenth-century paintings of Indians and their lands. The author argues that, despite his sympathies, Catlin's work embodied the same prevailing sentiment toward Nature that sanctioned Indian removal and thus undercut his own alternate vision for westward expansion.
