“One Of The Best Draughtsmen The Country Possesses” is an intriguing title for a column, so I decided to look into it and read a few of David Hunter's pieces. This beautiful edition, prepared and published in the State in West Virginia sketch artist who has achieved national recognition in the mid-nineteenth century. Caused by the traveling exhibition of forty-two original drawings by David Hunter Strother, this book is a short illustrated biography of the artist and the exhibition catalog.
