Frederick Coffay Yohn (1875-1933) of Indianapolis specialized in historical scenes. I have shown his artwork before. Click on the label at the right to see more. The two scenes below are from a grade school textbook, The Beginnings of the American People and Nation by Mary G. Kelty (Ginn and Company, 1930). Other artists represented in this book include: Peter Hurd (1904-1984), C. Hoff, M. Zeno Diemer (1867-1939), Stanley M. Arthurs (1877-1950), Ernest Board (1877-1934), C.Y. Turner (1850-1919), Haskell Coffin (1878-1941), H.A. Ogden (1856-1936), Max Bohm (1868-1923), Howard E. Smith (1885-1970), and Rodney Thomson (1878-1941). There are also many nicely--though anonymously--made maps.
