This fine collaboration between Carolyn Dufurrena and mother-in-law Linda Dufurrena provides an insightful and personal look at ranch life in northern Nevada. --Western Horseman
This well-made and heartfelt book is at once a primer in high desert ranching, a salute to the stark beauty of this empty country and the people who work it, and alas an elegy to a culture that is disappearing. --Journal of the West
Readers of Fifty Miles will likely be seduced by Carolyn s writings and equally, or even more, by Linda s exquisite and creative photography. --Klamath Falls Herald and News

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For more than a decade, photographer Linda Dufurrena has recorded with powerful eloquence the rugged, beautiful landscape of northern Nevada and the patterns of life on the Dufurrena family ranch in the Quinn River Valley. Over 100 of her finest photographs are collected in book form. Accompanied by a brilliant essay by her daughter-in-law, geologist Carolyn Dufurrena, that discusses the rhythms of the land and of life on the ranch, the photographs in Fifty Miles from Home vividly depict the heart of the West and its fabled ranch culture. Within the fifty-mile circle of territory over which the Dufurrena family ranch operatesterritory ranging from the edges of the barren Black Rock Desert to high, aspen-filled mountain basinsLinda and Carolyn Dufurrena follow the annual cycle of ranch work and the seasonal changes of the surrounding landscape. Life in this remote Nevada backcountry is shaped by the challenges of the austere Great Basin desert around the ranch and by the time-honored skills of generations of ranch families. And around the ranch, in every direction, are vistas of breathtaking beauty as the natural landscape evolves through the seasons, as flowers bloom and storms pass overhead. Exploring a fifty-mile territory, Linda and Carolyn Dufurrena vividly depict the heart of the West and its fabled ranch culture in a beautiful collaboration of essays and full color images.
