Dust jacket notes: "While Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell painted the glamour and glory of the Old West, Harvey Dunn - product of a Dakota Territory claim shanty - memorialized on canvas the day-to-day existence of prairie pioneers. Where Your Heart Is is the inspiring biography of one of America's greatest artist-illustrators, an unforgettable teacher and a sentimental he-man. It follows his life from the treeless banks of Redstone Creek to the sophisticated art circles of the East. And then back again! In his quest for memorable pictures, the homestead-born painter re-traced his steps, and the realistic depictions of the Western frontier which followed not only produced a monumental historical record, but they assured him a lasting place in American art. The book tells, too, of Dunn's concurrent career as an unsurpassed teacher of illustration, in the contagious, talent-fostering style of his own mentor, Howard Pyle. Included also is the artist's World War I sojourn in France with the American Expeditionary Force, resulting in a series of epic pictures which rank among the finest dramatic portrayals of 'man's inhumanity to man.' This, then, is the story of Harvey Dunn: a man's man and an artist's artist. It is the warm and engaging personal saga of a prairie boy who pursued a dream - and caught it."
