People of the Great Plains turned downed by 22 publishers. Spent all the money earned from Vermont People on the Plains project. Introduced the book in late August at the Slope County Fair in North Dakota, sold 100 books. People shook my hand for identifying their culture, being on their side. Set up a 60 print traveling exhibition of the Plains photos at The Museum of the Great Plains, Lawton, Oklahoma.
Book wins four awards.
Reprinted Vermont People with New Jersey printer after local printer goes out of business. Disastrous results with printing and deadline. Didn't know whether to slit my throat or call the Mafia. Halted half the print run. Started two books, Vermont Farm Women and Robert Frost's Vermont, both personal projects.
