MIAN SITU " Miao Beauty " Limited Edition Canvas 150 Signed and Numbered 8" x 11" in size MINT CONDITION The Miao are a group of culturally-related subgroups that live primarily in Southern China. Some of the subgroups include the Hmong, Hmu and Qho Xiong peoples; within these subgroups there are further divisions. Although the Miao themselves use various designations, the Chinese have traditionally classified them according to the most prominent color of the women’s clothing. The young subject of Mian Situ’s "Miao Beauty" gracefully embodies the pride and determination of her people. Mian Situ Born in Southern China, Mian Situ received his formal art training in his native homeland of Guangdong, formerly Canton. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the prestigious Guangzhou Institute of Fine Art. After instructing for six years, he earned a Masters in Fine Art. Immigrating to Canada, then later moving to the United States, Mian’s paintings clearly reflect his upbringing in the rural countryside of his native China. His artistic diversification of subject matter, from the people of the small villages and farming communities going about their daily lives to the exquisite portraitures as well as his most recent works inspired by western historical themes and American landscapes, all reflect the sensitive dedication of this Master Artist. Mian has been recognized with many national art awards. During the 2002 Masters of the American West exhibition and sale at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles California, Mian Situ received the Masters of the American West Museum Purchase Award, the Thomas Moran Memorial Award for Artistic Merit and the Patron’s Choice Award. In 2003, Mian was honored with the Thomas Moran Memorial Award, Artist’s Choice Award and Patron’s Choice Award. Most recently, in 2005, Mian was presented with the Artist’s Choice Award for his painting, The Word of God. Mian Situ is represented by Trailside Galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona and Jackson, Wyoming. He lives with his wife, Helen and daughter, Lisa in Southern California.

The Royal Descents of 900 Immigrants to the American Colonies, Quebec, or the United States Who Were Themselves Notable or Left Descendants Notable in American History, Second Edition Most Americans with sizable New England Yankee, mid-Atlantic Quaker, or Southern “planter” ancestry are descended from medieval kings–kings of England, Scotland, and France especially. This book tells you how. Outlined on 1,084 pages of charts are the best royal descents, i.e., from the most recent king, of 900 (actually 993) immigrants to the American colonies, Quebec, or the United States who were themselves notable or left descendants notable in American history. These three volumes are a considerable expansion on previous books on this subject, even the author’s own 1993, 2004-10, and 2018 works named above. To the 2018 edition this work adds over 23 new immigrants; changes (usually improving the lines) a dozen more, including several French Canadians; adds various British and Continental items of interest, and includes all new royal descents known to the author through mid-2022. This new RD 900, is also an enormous distillation undertaken over a period of more than 50 years, of virtually all printed sources that lead to these royal lines. A survey of this size has never before been attempted. The result is a book that quantitatively and qualitatively redefines this area of genealogical research and outlines–definitively to date–American genealogical links to medieval kings and their “dark age” forebears. By far the most comprehensive treatment of the subject in print, this new Second Edition does not supersede such works as Weis’s Ancestral Roots and Magna Charta Sureties; Plantagenet Ancestry, Magna Carta Ancestry, the five-volume 2013 Royal Ancestry by Douglas Richardson; The Complete Peerage; or the Europäische Stammtafeln series. Rather, RD 900 builds on and outlines the “best” royal descents from these and similar works, providing a bibliography for each immigrant and ready means of access to royal descent literature. This new RD 900 is basically the 2018 edition plus the research of five more years (mid-2017 through mid-2022) plus the addition of many cross references to later lines, new discoveries of surprising British or Continental cousins, new sources, detailed Internet research, and of course, many corrections of typographical or other errors. Several colleagues also developed new descents that might not otherwise have been published. Of the 993 immigrants treated in this work, 501 came to the American colonies and left descendants, in some cases now numbering several million, but almost always many thousands. Among the progeny of each of the 501 is at least one figure in the Dictionary of American Biography, American National Biography, or similar works covering 20,000-or-more important people in American history. The remaining immigrants (colonial governors or other officials, “Great Awakening” or Revolutionary figures who often returned to Europe, and many nineteenth- and early twentieth-century notables) collectively suggest much about distant kinships of living Americans; the total contributions to American life of persons of noble, royal, and gentle ancestry; and genealogical connections between Americans and many major leaders in world history.
