The best of all this pictorial material has now been gathered together, put in chronological sequence, and published in the present volume with an explanatory text based largely upon diaries and notebooks kept by Jackson himself during the long years of his activity in the West"; "this book is an interesting and well done photo essay of the the Old West of the late 1800’s. With nearly 400 photos, paintings, and sketches this is a book all ages of a family can enjoy." William Henry Jackson is one of the most respected landscape photographers of the American West. His career in photography was one of the longest and most successful. He won his reputation with his resourcefulness and skill, his luck, his capacity for hard work, his longevity, and his talents as a photographer and a businessman.
