| 520 | _a"Hermann Stieffel, Soldier Artist of the West" by Edgar M. Howell is a biography that explores the life and works of Hermann Stieffel, a German-born private in the U.S. Infantry during the post-Civil War period, particularly in the late 19th century. The book examines Stieffel's unique perspective as a soldier-artist who chronicled the American West through his watercolors, providing valuable historical documentation of military life and the interactions with Native American tribes during a tumultuous time in U.S. history. In the narrative, Howell highlights Stieffel's military service, detailing his experiences with Company K of the 5th U.S. Infantry from 1858 to 1882 and his contributions as a painter capturing life on the frontier. Stieffel's artwork, although lacking in formal artistic training, portrays significant events, such as Indian treaty councils and skirmishes with Native American tribes, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to communicate the vividness of his surroundings. The biography not only outlines the events leading to Stieffel's artistic endeavors but also reflects on the broader historical context of the American West during the Indian Wars, making it an essential read for those interested in military history, art, and the cultural dynamics of the era.
