A linen covered slipcase features the famous Thunderbird logo on the back. Signed by the author, Donald J. Hagerty, the edition also contains a frameable poem by Dixon entitled "Totem" which features his personal totem, the Thunderbird. Perhaps the best summation of Maynard Dixon is this quote by Thomas McGuane on the dust jacket: "To me, no painter has ever quite understood the light, the distances, the aboriginal ghostliness of the American West as well as Maynard Dixon. The great mood of his work is solitude, the effect of land and space on people. While his work stands perfectly well on it claims to beauty, it offers a spiritual view of the West indispensable to anyone who would understand it." Painter, poet, adventurer, husband, father - Maynard Dixon was all this.
