This limited edition cover of Volume Six Resilience features original cover art from famed modern Western Artist Nicholas Coleman whose work emphasizes the key elements of a good story: scene, structure, event and plot. Every intentional brush stroke builds a story that evokes the common narrative of struggle, fortitude, and resiliency through both characters and the characterization. His romantic paintings inspire audiences to join his mission to preserve the fading heritage of the American West.

In our sixth volume, we celebrate resilience.

To pursue a prosperous life, how much are we willing to endure? To what length can the human spirit be stretched before it breaks, and still be remolded? Despite pain, suffering and adversity, experiences can satisfy a primal need for connection to the natural world, and unify people from all walks of life. They teach us that we are capable of far more than we know, and that weathering the storms often makes a better version of ourselves. This is something that most of have experienced this year, more than ever.

This new volume shares stories of those in search of truth, peace, and survival. All of them chose to rise above circumstances, understanding that more tribulations are to come in this life, and whether they are praised for resilience in the public spotlight or only witnessed by the peaks and clouds of some remote backcountry, they remind us to be brave and keep pressing on.

Bound within these pages, you’ll find an odyssey of native whale hunters into a bloody sea, the miracle of biodiversity that survives our best collective efforts to destroy habitats, an artist’s ability to keep the spirit of the West alive, make first contact with a resilient tribe in the rainforests of Papua New Guinea, teeter on the edge of death in the high peaks of Idaho, learn of the hidden history of black cowboys and the man who keeps that heritage alive, and much more.

It’s been a challenging year, and we truly hope that this collection of stories helps remind you that the dynamic human spirit is built to endure, and that brighter times are on the horizon.
