Featuring the art of explorer-artists Catlin, Bodmer, Audubon, McKenny, de Bry and Moran, this program is filled with vivid images of a now-vanished world. It presents a remarkable 300-year survey of the impact of European civilization on the New World - in particular, the tragic effect on the lives and cultures of the American Indians.
