The West
Seller: Library House Internet Sales, Grand Rapids, OH, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. "The West: An American Experience is a stunning visual document of the American West from 1859 to 1900. Comprised of more than 180 photographs, it depicts in graphic detail the West of the white settlers and their contemporary, the Indian: their constant battle against nature, the endless winds that kept nerves taut, the perpetually muddy streets, the maddening monotony of life in a 12x12 homesteader's shack. The photographs of this monumental collection, painstakingly collected as glass negatives and restored by modern technology, sensitively expose minuscule bits of human existence. A hitherto-obscured picture emerges, one that tells the story of the unheralded people who conquered the prairies, quite unaware that they were effecting a major transformation in American history. THE WEST is the first pictorial social history of the army of emigrants who forged westward, leaving their pattern on the land and imprint of the land on our culture, of the stark reality of the life of the people who crossed the Missouri River and settled the West"-Jacket flap. Due to age and/or environmental conditions, the pages of this book have darkened. Foxing is present on one or more pages. Solid binding. Boards are moderate to severely edgeworn.
