Hello.
The last time I taught a grad seminar on 19th-century  American landscape 
painting was 2002.  I am looking for reasonably priced  books/ exhibition 
catalogues that we can use as textbooks.  Those  starred below seem to be out 
of print, at least according to UC's bookstore  order form.  In addition to 
the others (to which I add quite a few  articles), what might anyone 
recommend for a class that is 10 weeks  long?

Btw, I am going to the symposium on the subject at New  Paltz soon, and 
look forward to recommendations from participants there,  too.
Many thanks,
