4.0 out of 5 stars Photographers in Arizona 1850-1920, November 15, 2007

By	Steve - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars limited history as a hobby, October 23, 2005

By	Barry Dowell (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
