They claim no merit of verity but try to show the impact of certain pictures I have seen and the realization of images I dreamt of when I read my first Indian stories as a boy. Those dreams were of heroic figures and deeds and helped keep alive my deep interest in the cultures of the American Indians." - Werner Drewes.
