William Henry Jackson's Oregon Trail: 
Portfolio of postcards

12 postcards, $3.99 -- shipping only $1.95

Our portfolio of postcards painted by William Henry Jackson had been out of print for about a year, but is now back in print and we have a lot of them. The album has a beautiful new cover, featuring Jackson’s famous "Approaching Chimney Rock."

The other eleven scenes in the portfolio are: Independence Rock, Lightning Storm, Yoking a Wild Bull, Crossing the South Platte River, Barlow Cutoff, Sand Hills of the Platte Valley, Westport Landing, Mitchell Pass, Grub Pile, Rock Creek Station, and Three Island Crossing.

The collection, sold only as a set, retails for $3.95, and we have instituted a special shipping price of $1.95 for First Class mailing of one set; and 50¢ more for each additional set.

Jackson, 1843-1942, became one of the great pioneer photographers of the American West. His first western journey was as an ox drover in 1866. An accomplished artist, three of his pen-and-ink sketches were made during that adventure are among the postcards in the portfolio. The other scenes were painted long after his retirement from his photographic studio. He painted almost to the end of his life, and died just a few months short of his 100^th birthday.
