Adventurous John Mix Stanley, Painter of American Indian Life
The early painter John Mix Stanley stood out for peril and escape as he chronicled Indian life. From 1838 he visited the Southwest, joined General Kearney’s 1846 march, and narrowly escaped the Whitman massacre. He survived a near-miss voyage home after San Francisco, later led a Pacific railroad expedition artistically, and died in 1872 after losing over 150 paintings in a 1865 Smithsonian fire.
