Making Tracks -
Forging the West This is the
Second-In-A-Series of western vehicle prints. The piece includes a
central "call-out" section identifying wagon nomenclature and unique
design features typical of the wheels of the old west. It also includes
vintage illustrations and photos from the 1870's through the early
1900's showing equipment used to build these old wheels. It is placed on
an old paper-type background with folds, stains, spots, and tears
printed to give it an even stronger feel of authenticity. There was a
huge 4' x 8' version of it at the National Championship Chuckwagon Races
in September. Approximate size is 23" x 37" printed on heavy,
acid-free 100 lb cover stock with UV inhibiting inks. No Certificate is
offered. This is copyrighted and reproduction of any kind is not allowed

A note from the publisher: "In all my
research for the series of volumes on the major wagon makers it became extremely
clear that, perhaps more than any other single icon, the rugged imagery of a
nostalgic wooden wagon has come to symbolize the spirited heritage of the
American West. Incredibly, these vintage vehicles are the only area of the Old
West that has yet to be thoroughly explored. As you're well aware,
traditionally, a great deal of attention has been focused on the cowboys, cattle
drives, weapons, Native Americans, gold strikes, and even the homesteaders of
the Old West. But, amazingly, little comprehensive information exists on the
individual makers that literally drove the western progress and expansion of our
country. Part of the reason seems to be the extensive size of this industry
(there were tens of thousands of makers). The scarcity of surviving records has
also played a role in keeping most information generalized and non-specific. |
