Description
Solomon D. Butcher's photographs are an enduring representation of the American frontier. Spanning western Nebraska, his images capture the faces and stories of those who settled the Great Plains during the late 19th century. From bachelors to families, farmers to former slaves, these photographs offer a unique visual chronicle of a pivotal era in American history. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Butcher's life and work, tracing his career as a photographer and situating him within the broader context of western history and photography. The author offers critical analysis and new insights into Butcher's style and subject matter, making this a valuable resource for anyone interested in historical American photography. With over 125 photographs reproduced in duotone from high-resolution scans of glass negatives, this edition also includes a new afterword that explores the fascinating history of the photographs themselves.
