Description: "Late businessman Kenneth S. 'Bud' Adams, owner of the Tennessee Titans, generously willed a historic collection of Western paintings and Native American artifacts to the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art when he passed away in 2013. Born in Oklahoma, educated at the Culver Academy and the University of Kansas, Adams was an enrolled member of the Cherokee tribe, a long-time resident of Houston, Texas, and a dedicated man of the West. This publication features highlights from the collection and explores classic art of the West and Plains and Southwestern Indian objects that make the collection one of national importance"--Dust jacket.
