Thoroughly enjoyed the book as it reveals some very fine and early photographs of Arizona's pioneers. I believe every shelf ought to have a copy and I bought one for my children who are studying Arizona history to enliven their understanding of the period. Unless we share these old photos, how can we truly understand the sacrifices others have made for us. Photographs are the windows of the mind. Great Job!!!!!

I found Jeremy Rowe's book an excellent source of information on not only the photographers and technology of photography, but of the culture and sociology of the late 19th century period in Arizona. I was especially interested in his directory of photographers working in various areas in the Territory. I think this book has wonderful value to genealogists whose family history was linked to the area and time.

In my opinion Mr Rowe's hobby turned into a book is an incomplete at best catalogue of a few pcitures taken by a few photographers in the southwest.Photographs are scant and photographers are noticibly missing i.e. Rassmussen. A poor choice for anyone interested in a comprehensive guide.
