Americas 100th Meridian: A Plains Journey (Plains Histories)

About this book

Resulting from an arduous series of six journeys along the two-thousand-mile line that divides East from West Monte Hartmans perceptive photographs provide the intimate yet dispassionate observations of a person who chose to explore the meanings inherent in the great empty middle between our coasts. These images inspired William Kittredge to travel the Meridian himself. His essay an unblinking yet sensitive musing on what once was and what now remains offers a poignant counterpoint to Hartmans visual tapestry.
