Editorial Reviews

From Scientific American

This long awaited biography and photo montage features one of the foremost Western landscape photographers of the 19th century. It's quickly apparent that his is a life and body of work well worth examining. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From The New Yorker

You can show that [photograph] to anyone in the country, and they'd know . . . that's the joining of the rails. But who, exactly, took the photo at the event in 1869? Was it Charles Savage, a Salt Lake City based photographer known for his Utah photographs, or Andrew J. Russell, the only commissioned military photographer in the Civil War who was renowned for his railroad photographs? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
