Synopsis
William Henry Jackson recorded on film what the late nineteenth-century world wanted most to see: the real American frontier. His stunning photographs of the Colorado Rockies, Mesa Verde, the Tetons, Yosemite, and Yellowstone made a mark not only on the history of photography but also on the history of the nation. A thorough and well-researched yet emphatically readable biography, William Henry Jackson: Framing the Frontier features more than 100 photographs illustrating Jackson's remarkable legacy.
