Artist's Statement

Imagine what it must have been like for those living in America’s eastern cities to hear tales from the Western Frontier. Those who had made the journey and returned told of their adventures among the mysterious creatures and people that called the unforgiving West home. Images created by Ben Walker tell tales of mystery and excitement that make the ladies squeal with fear and delight as their men quietly slip away to buy passage to The West.
