Review

Maxwell MacKenzie was drawn back to his birthplace, near the border of North Dakota on the edge of the Great Plains, to photograph the remnants of a life lived by his ancestors. He finds "a profound beauty" in the weathered houses and derelict barns that dot the remote landscape once peopled by immigrant Norwegians and Swedes--who braved great hardship to make a home for themselves on the lone prairie before the Depression forced them to leave. The words of Wallace Stegner and other writers provide a backdrop for the striking color photos of a place left behind.
