"These black-and-white photographs - which cover a one-hundred-year span from the 1850s to the 1950s - were selected from a range of photo archives, including the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution, as well as prominent private collections. The wide selection includes images from such well-known Farm Security Administration photographers as Russell Lee and Ben Shahn. Each of the seventy-five photographs is accompanied by an extensive caption that relays a relevant (and often amusing) anecdote, or otherwise gives historical context to the photo."--BOOK JACKET.
