"One present-day artist Mark Dion trails four historical protagonists, making four epic journeys through Texas over the course of two years in search of knowledge and greater understanding. Inspired by the nineteenth-century explorer tradition, Dion traverses thousands of miles, meets with dozens of guides, and sends back hundreds of boxed items to form his sculptural travelogue at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art" -- page 6.
