The first catalogue raisonné on the complete works of William Ranney was produced in conjunction with the exhibition at the Buffalo Historical Center in 2006. Ranney portrayed scenes of early western life and highlighted the importance of the narrative tradition in early western art. His versatility of a vast array of subjects made him an American icon in 19th century art.
