PORTER, ELIOT (photographs), text by Wallace Stegner and Page Stegner. American Places.
New York Crown Publishers 1983 0517413612 / 9780517413616 Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
Edited by John Macrae, III. 224 pages, 44 color plates, cloth, dj, 10-1/2 by 12 inches, very good. From the publisher: "Here is a close look at America, with a decidedly personal touch, by seasoned observers of the continent's varied human and natural history. The range is wide, from Maine west to the Pacific Northwest and south to Florida, across the Mississippi, the Plains and the Rocky Mountains through the Canyonlands to California. AMERICAN PLACES begins with the first impressions of explorers and ends today - almost five hundred years later. Along the way it evokes the sights, sounds, and people of this diverse land to reveal why America has always been Europe's oldest dream. Some American places - the Maine coast, Utah's Colorado Plateau, to name two, are better understood by Eliot Porter's photographs, unembellished by words. Others - Salt Lake and the Mississippi Valley - where several hundred years of human history are lost on today's scene are better rendered in words. There has been no attempt by photographer or writer to cover exactly the same terrain, or just to illustrate, in words or pictures, the other's work. This book, which has been in preparation for a dozen years, has much to say about how the American people and the American land have interacted - how they have shaped one another - what patterns of life, with what chances of continuity, have arisen out of the confrontations between an unformed society and a virgin continent. AMERICAN PLACES is graced with eighty-nine dazzling color photographs taken especially for the book by Eliot Porter. Every chapter in the book and every photograph can be considered an illustration of a stage in the process of our adaptation and naturalization. Some pages are less optimistic than others because in some places exploitation has gone further or frontier expectations have persisted longer. The reader will come to understand that only as a home for the human race does our land have meaning."
