Reviews for In the Remington Moment
"Can the work of an artist like Remington—nostalgic even in his time—be considered as more than a relic in ours? Might it still have an affecting presence a century after Remington's passing? Tatum's book is a palpable affirmation."—Brian Rusted, Great Plains Quarterly
