Book Synopsis William Henry Jackson's Lens by : Tim McNeese
Download or read book William Henry Jackson's Lens written by Tim McNeese and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Henry Jackson was an explorer, photographer, and artist. He is also one of those most often overlooked figures of the American West. His larger claim to fame involves his repeated forays into the western lands of nineteenth-century America as a photographer. Jackson’s life spanned multiple incarnations of the American West. In a sense, he played a singular role in revealing the West to eastern Americans. While others opened the frontier with the axe and the rifle, Jackson did so with his collection of cameras. He dispelled the geological myths through a lens no one could deny or match. His wet plate collodion prints not only helped to reframe the nation’s image of the West, but they also enticed businessmen, investors, scientists, and even tourists to venture into the western regions of the United States. Prior to Jackson’s widely circulated photographs, the American West was little understood and unmapped—mysterious lands that required a camera and a cameraman to reveal their secrets and, ultimately, provide the first photographic record of such exotic destinations as Yellowstone, Mesa Verde, and the Rocky Mountains. Jackson’s story was long and his life full, as he lived to the enviable age of 99. This biography presents the good, bad, and ugly of Jackson’s life, both personal and professional, through the use primary source materials, including Jackson’s autobiographies, letters, and government reports on the Hayden Surveys.

Book Synopsis Photographer of the Early West by : Eugene A. Miller
Download or read book Photographer of the Early West written by Eugene A. Miller and published by Arundel Publishing (CA). This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young Arundel Hull captured history when he shot photos of everyday life during America’s westward expansion. Born in 1846, he apprenticed at a photography studio in St. Paul Minnesota. By age 17, he had opened his own business, perfecting his photographic skills. In 1866 three years later, he sold most everything and succumbed to the siren call of the West. Arundel C. Hull arrived in Omaha, Nebraska in 1866 an adventuresome twenty-year old photographer. He made and sold many photos of businesses and streets and joined the E. L. Eaton gallery working at Omaha’s first portrait studio. The following spring he loaded up his photographic equipment and boarded a west bound train on the newly established Union Pacific Railroad. As he stopped at nearly every station, often the first photographer to document the emerging towns. He traveled as far as Green River, Wyoming, before heading back to Omaha. During 1869 he was back at Omaha’s photography studio, now owned by the Jackson brothers. When the Union Pacific requested photographs of the railroad, Hull and William H. Jackson took on the task traveling to Promontory arriving only days after the ceremonial Golden Spike was driven. The rest of the biography covers Hull’s subsequent years as he settled in Fremont, Nebraska. There in 1870 he opened his own photographic studio, married and played a leading part in many civic involvements. Like many early businessmen he contributed generously toward the town’s development assisting in the construction of a large creamery, a school, a telephone system and more. In addition to photographs from his early journeys, the book features a number of portraits and photographs from those Fremont years. Hull’s photography is striking. Many of the shots made as he traveled in the west are remarkably clear, considering the complicated process involved. using a portable darkroom. Hull had an eye for beautiful composition.. Readers interested in the old west or in photography will find Miller’s book an interesting and sound addition to their understanding of the late 1800s.
Book Synopsis The Photographer as Autobiographer by : Arnaud Schmitt
Download or read book The Photographer as Autobiographer written by Arnaud Schmitt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-10 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores hybrid memoirs, combining text and images, authored by photographers. It contextualizes this sub-category of life writing from a historical perspective within the overall context of life writing, before taking a structural and cognitive approach to the text/image relationship. While autobiographers use photographs primarily for their illustrative or referential function, photographers have a much more complex interaction with pictures in their autobiographical accounts. This book explores how the visual aspect of a memoir may drastically alter the reader’s response to the work, but also how, in other cases, the visual parts seem disconnected from the text or underused.
Book Synopsis The Brandywine by : W. Barksdale Maynard
Download or read book The Brandywine written by W. Barksdale Maynard and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled among picturesque rolling hills, the Brandywine River winds from southeastern Pennsylvania into Delaware. The Brandywine: An Intimate Portrait is the first book to trace the rich vein of history in the region, from original European settlement to the Battle of the Brandywine—the largest land battle of the Revolutionary War—to the establishment of First State National Monument on its banks in 2013. Acclaimed writer and Brandywine Valley resident W. Barksdale Maynard crafts a sweeping narrative about the men and women who shaped the Brandywine's history and culture. They include the du Ponts, who made their fortunes from gunpowder, and artist Howard Pyle, a native of the region, whose Brandywine School of American illustration took inspiration from the pastoral environment. Most famously, the Brandywine Valley is where N. C. and Andrew Wyeth, father and son, painted amid evocative landscapes for more than a century. With its unparalleled collection of museums and public gardens, including Longwood, Winterthur, and Hagley, the Brandywine continues to attract millions of visitors from around the world. Richly illustrated with seldom-seen historical photographs, paintings, and drawings, The Brandywine vividly captures the spirit of a storied region that has inspired generations.
Book Synopsis Native American Portraits by : Nancy Hathaway
Download or read book Native American Portraits written by Nancy Hathaway and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 1990-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over one hundred photographs from the renowned Kurt Koegler collection of Native American portraits taken between the end of the Civil War and the end of World War I are featured in this powerful compendium depicting a proud and defeated people. Native American Portraits presents a factual, anecdotal, and visual history of the evolving artistry and technology of a century of photographers, as well as of the tribes whose vanishing trappings and traditions they sought to capture with their craft. The photographers -- William Henry Jackson, Camillus Fly, Carleton Watkins, and Lee Moorhouse, among scores of others -- were intrepid adventurers, fiercely committed to their work, who hauled hundreds of pounds of photographic equipment across the mountains and faced many dangers; their subjects -- including such important warriors as Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce, Red Cloud, Geronimo, and Chief Gall (who led the Indians to victory against Custer) -- appear venerable, dignified, and beaten. Fascinating and provocative, this richly illustrated and painstakingly annotated volume documents the intersection of photography in its infancy and Native American culture in precipitous decline.

Download or read book American Lion written by Jon Meacham and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of a larger-than-life president who defied norms, divided a nation, and changed Washington forever Andrew Jackson, his intimate circle of friends, and his tumultuous times are at the heart of this remarkable book about the man who rose from nothing to create the modern presidency. Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the nation to his will in the cause of democracy. Jackson’s election in 1828 ushered in a new and lasting era in which the people, not distant elites, were the guiding force in American politics. Democracy made its stand in the Jackson years, and he gave voice to the hopes and the fears of a restless, changing nation facing challenging times at home and threats abroad. To tell the saga of Jackson’s presidency, acclaimed author Jon Meacham goes inside the Jackson White House. Drawing on newly discovered family letters and papers, he details the human drama–the family, the women, and the inner circle of advisers– that shaped Jackson’s private world through years of storm and victory. One of our most significant yet dimly recalled presidents, Jackson was a battle-hardened warrior, the founder of the Democratic Party, and the architect of the presidency as we know it. His story is one of violence, sex, courage, and tragedy. With his powerful persona, his evident bravery, and his mystical connection to the people, Jackson moved the White House from the periphery of government to the center of national action, articulating a vision of change that challenged entrenched interests to heed the popular will– or face his formidable wrath. The greatest of the presidents who have followed Jackson in the White House–from Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt to FDR to Truman–have found inspiration in his example, and virtue in his vision. Jackson was the most contradictory of men. The architect of the removal of Indians from their native lands, he was warmly sentimental and risked everything to give more power to ordinary citizens. He was, in short, a lot like his country: alternately kind and vicious, brilliant and blind; and a man who fought a lifelong war to keep the republic safe–no matter what it took.

Book Synopsis William Henry Jackson's Colorado by : William Henry Jackson
Download or read book William Henry Jackson's Colorado written by William Henry Jackson and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western history collections must hold Jackson's Colorado for its documentation of latter 19th-century transportation (with much rail), mining, urban development, Indian culture, geology, and prehistoric ruins--Mesa Verde before NPS "stabilization." Rail buffs will cherish the fantastic mountain track to which Jackson was particularly attracted. Originally published by Pruett Pub. Co. in 1975, this revision brings the captions up to date. The chief shortcoming is the total absence of maps. We would abolish one of the endpaper photos of the capitol in favor of maps of the Front Range, the high passes and their approaches. Includes color plates of seven of Jackson's chromolithographs. Published by Colorado Railroad Historical Foundation, PO Box 10, Golden, CO 80402.
