Over 300 photographs of American material culture that Wilson judged to be on its way out in 1961, arranged in four sections covering farms, homes, towns, and transportation.

Wilson, a Northwestern-trained newspaperman who moved into public relations and then photography, took most of the pictures himself, working largely in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, with additional images from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the Great Northern Railway, and the Library of Congress.
