Volume 1 depicts the origins of the society and its objectives, cultural context, and expanding importance in American art history. The essays that follow focus on the contributions of the society's founding members: Joseph H. Sharp, E. Irving Couse, Bert G. Phillips, Ernest L. Blumenschein, Oscar E. Berninghaus, and W. Herbert Dunton. Volume 2 explores the achievements of six other prominent artists who joined the society, as well as its associate and honorary members. The volume concludes with a detailed chronology of relevant events from 1850 to 1966.

"Full of interesting stories, We Gather Together is a very entertaining read. It is also quietly subversive. Beneath the veil of gentle humor and the perceptive readings of paintings, the book carries an important message: at a time when global warming is endangering life on this planet, the book implores us to think more deeply about our fundamental relationship with the earth."--Henry Adams, author of Tom and Jack: The Intertwined Lives of Thomas Hart Benton and Jackson Pollock "Wide-ranging and wonderfully illustrated, Eldredge's book examines how farming once defined America's sense of self and collective purpose."--Erika Doss, author of Memorial Mania: Public Feeling in America
