Abstract (en)

Discusses Moran's painting, Shoshone Falls on the Snake River, Idaho, 1900 (Tulsa, Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art) in light of the artist's concern in preserving the American environment and in relation to the writings of the naturalist John Muir. Compares it with Moran's Rainbow over Niagara Falls, 1885 (present whereabouts unknown).
