Laura Gilpin was unique among women chroniclers of the Southwest because she worked in photography. She perceived the region as an environment for human activity rather than a place for untouched beauty, and her empathy for her subjects is evident in her work. Even in her eighties--ignoring the physical infirmities of age--she would camp overnight to be near a place she wanted to photograph at the break of day. The vast empty stretches of the southwestern...

A contemporary portrait of the Navajo, one that shatters the old stereotypes. In Joel Grimes's exquisite photographs, we see the Navajo in all their current diversity; Navajo in cowboy hats and football uniforms; Navajo in chemistry labs and clinics; Navajo coal miners, sculptors and rodeo hands. Sheep, shepherds and hogans have not vanished, and we see a selection of them here, but the thrust of this book's message is change, and all it has wrought....

In 1911, a one-track suspension bridge was constructed over the gorge of the Little Colorado River, bypassing a treacherous river crossing and opening travel to northern Arizona. Five years later, Hubert Richardson built a tin-roofed shack on the river's rim and opened his trading post for business.
