Aus dem Amerikanischen von Ursula Wulfekamp. "Zehn Jahre lang hat der renommierte Photohistoriker Michael Lesy die Verlagsarchive der Detroit Publishing Company durchforstet, die bis 1924 existierte. Die 183 Aufnahmen, die er für diesen Band auswählte, arrangierte er in feinsinniger Dramaturgie zu einem Bilderbuch, das die Geschicke Amerikas in der ersten Dekade des 20. Jahrhunderts erzählt." "William Henry Jackson, the most renowned Western landscape photographer of his day, travelled across the United States with a team of photographers recording images of the nation in all regions and environments. Photo-historian Michael Lesy has compiled 208 of these images and his writings contextualize them, finding the relevance of these still resonant images.".
