In 1912, at age 24, Georgia O'Keeffe boarded a train in Virginia and headed west, to the prairies of the Texas Panhandle, to take a position as art teacher for the newly organized Amarillo Public Schools. Subsequently she would join the faculty at what was then West Texas State Normal College (now West Texas A&M University). Already a thoroughly independent-minded woman, she maintained an active correspondence with her future husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz, and other friends back east during the years she lived in Texas.

Amy Von Lintel brings to readers the collected O'Keeffe correspondence and added commentary and analysis, shining fresh light on a period of the artist's life.

The result is an important new examination of one of our most beloved artists during a time when she was in the process of discovering her future identity.
