Evidence Unseen: Finding the Faith to Overcome is an exhibition of how an African American man successfully navigated the highs and lows of life in America. Frank Clay Jr.’s memoir tells his life’s story of overcoming challenges personally, corporately, racially, and more. Clay shares intimate details of his life that include growing up in Philly in the 1960s in the midst of gang life, learning tough lessons while navigating adulthood through college, serving his country, and tackling career challenges in both corporate America and entrepreneurship. Throughout his narrative, Clay’s story of perseverance and determination reminds others—especially African American males—that they too can rely on their faith and grit to put the past behind them, triumph over obstacles, create a loving family unit, and ultimately realize a divine purpose. This inspiring memoir captures the essence of a man’s journey from childhood to manhood as he overcame adversity and challenges to attain the American dream.

Made famous through the paintings of Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, the North American expedition of German naturalist Prince Maximilian of Wied in 1832–34 was the first scientific exploration of the Missouri River’s upper reaches since the epic journey of Lewis and Clark almost thirty years earlier. Maximilian’s journal has never been presented fully in English—until now. This collector’s-quality, oversized volume, the first of a three-volume set, draws on the Maximilian-Bodmer Collection at Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska. The North American Journals offer an incomparable view of the upper Missouri and its Native peoples at a pivotal moment in the history of the American West. This meticulous account, newly translated with extensive modern annotation, faithfully reproduces Maximilian’s 110 drawings and watercolors as well as his own notes, asides, and appendices. Volume I, which covers May 1832 to April 1833, documents Maximilian’s voyage to North America and his first encounters with Indians upon reaching the West. This is an essential resource for nineteenth-century western American history and a work of lasting value. This book is published with the assistance of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
