The Story
First edition, second printing of Photographing the American Dream by Solomon D. Butcher. Medium format hardback in fine condition. Some very minor shelf wear to the top edge of the dust jacket only.
About
For millions of Americans, Solomon D. Butcherâs photographs epitomize the sod-house frontier. His images from western Nebraska constitute the most extensive photographic record of the generation that settled the Great Plains. Their faces are imprinted on our minds: jaunty bachelors and earnest husbands (Civil War veterans of both armies), spinster sodbusters, determined mothers, cowhands, farmhands, and former slavesââall in search of land of their own. This first book devoted to Butcher and his photos presents a unique visual chronicle of that epoch, firmly establishing Butcher's place in frontier photography.
