Book Description
Frances Anne Hopkins' paintings record fur-trade canoe travel and inspire modern wilderness adventurers. The art has broad appeal and enduring popularity, but the basic question underlying this biography is, how can it be that the finest artist of canoe travel is a mid-nineteenth-century woman? The many challenges she faced included gaining access to the Hudson's Bay Company territory known as Rupert's Land, blending the roles of wife, mother, and artist in an era without dependable birth control, finding exhibition opportunities and patrons, and establishing a career as a professional London artist. During her Canadian years, Canadian art diverged from British art, just as Rupert's Land was sold to the newly established Dominion of Canada.

The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap
Author: Wendy Welch
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250010640
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
An inspiring true story about losing your place, finding your purpose, and building a community one book at a time. Wendy Welch and her husband had always dreamed of owning a bookstore, so when they left their high-octane jobs for a simpler life in an Appalachian coal town, they seized an unexpected opportunity to pursue thier dream. The only problems? A declining U.S. economy, a small town with no industry, and the advent of the e-book. They also had no idea how to run a bookstore. Against all odds, but with optimism, the help of their Virginian mountain community, and an abiding love for books, they succeeded in establishing more than a thriving business - they built a community. The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap is the little bookstore that could: how two people, two cats, two dogs, and thirty-eight thousand books helped a small town find its heart. It is a story about people and books, and how together they create community.
