Solomon D. Butcher: Photographing the American Dream Carter John E.
For millions of Americans, Solomon D. His images from western Nebraska constitute the most extensive photographic record of the generation that settled the Great Plains. Butcher's photographs epitomize the sod-house frontier.
This first book devoted to Butcher and his photos presents a unique visual chronicle of that epoch, firmly establishing Butcher's place in frontier photography.In a substantial introduction, John E. Their faces are imprinted on our minds: jaunty bachelors and earnest husbands (Civil War veterans of both armies), spinster sodbusters, determined mothers, cowhands, farmhands, and former slaves--all in search of land of their own. Carter traces the variegated career of this Virginia-born photographer who was himself an immigrant to the Nebraska plains.
Combining critical analysis with biography, Carter situates Butcher in western history as well as in the history
