JUNGE, MARK - J.E. Stimson. Photographer of the West

Lincoln, University of Nebraska Press. 1985, 1st edition. 25,5 x 27 cm. Or. Cloth with dustwrprs. 279 pp, with 231 photos. Photography as documentation is what Stimson achieved in rich quantity from his base in Cheyenne, Wyoming, beginning around 1890. The American West was settling down to "commonplace" growth and development. We see railroad trains and accommodations, broad agricultural prairies and farm equipment, both horse-drawn and mechanized, thriving sheep and cattle spreads, rising oil rigs and rugged mining and smelting grounds, The photos on these pages are crisp, clear, well-composed. and beautifully reproduced. Junge traces the parallel development of Stimson's handiwork and of the American Northwest corner he chose to live in. Background information accompanying the plates helps make this volume an excellent addition to U.S. social and photographic history. FINE COPY, as new.
