After which, a pencil note is added stating that Lambert Davis was Morris's editor at Harcourt Brace for his first book. Wright Morris was born and grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. Later, after leaving the Midwest, he began to write reminiscences of the people and landscape in his journal. In 1938, he made a cross-country trip from California to Philadelphia and was struck by the houses, barns, churches, grain elevators and other rural pre-war buildings that dotted the Midwest landscape. In 1941, he was given a Guggenheim Fellowship grant to work on The Inhabitants, which pairs photographs of exterior views and details of these buildings with short pieces of prose relating to these photographs. At the time of publication, there were few precedents for such a combination of text and photographs. A description on the rear panel states: 'To get the full impact of the book ⦠the photographs and the text must be considered as oneâ"they must be "taken in" concurrently. The pictures do not "illustrate" the text, they are part of it, and the same is true of the "soundtrack"â"the words.'
