I am looking for an American artist who did Civil War paintings and who helped
to instigate (?hmmm) the creation of national parks in America.
Would anybody know of the artist? His name could be, maybe, something like
Moran or Morgan or something...!
Any help muchly appreciated!

>Moran or Morgan or something...!
It's Thomas Moran, but Albert Beirdstadt was another artist who did
the same thing -- and was a better artist, I think. They were
contemporaries.

Thanks to those who responded. Thomas Moran was the person I was looking
for (I think) .....and I found info on him on the web....aahh, the beauty of
the Internet!
Another question!! Can anybody name a few famous American Civil War artists?
Actually, I thought Moran was the guy who did some civil war paintings, as
well as landscapes. Am I wrong/right??
TIA,

Because I don't want all the fairies in the world invading my
email box, you will have to reply here to this post query.
While cruising through southern New Mexico early one morning,
before sunrise, on an open highway without another vehicle in
sight, I was pulled over for speeding by a New Mexico State
Trooper. I accepted the ticket, put it in my bag, and didn't look
at it until later when I was unpacking from my trip. The ticket
is a carbon copy, and written across the face with a pen and
ink in original form are these words:
Hi My name is Charlie, and I'm gay.
The officer's signature on the carbon of the ticket is Charles D____.
Aside from being highly insulted by the inferrence of handing this
ticket to a lone male driver in the darkness of early morn, I am
astounded that a highway patrol officer would exercise such
un-professionalism.
My legal question is this. Was the ticket voided by his actions?
I intend to write to the New Mexico Dept. of Public Safety and
complain, and ask that this ticket be voided as an acceptable
apology to me.
Ima Dillo.

Honey, I figured out long ago who and what I am. Visualize a
morphing of former Gov. Ann Richards with columnist Molly Ivins,
then age the morphed image a 1/4 century, and add the sound
of Phyllis Dillard's voice and laugh and you will be damned close to
figuring out why I choose to disguise myself and sport an alias.
