"The West That Was"

Author: John Eggen
Pages: 184
Cover: Softbound
Dimensions: 12" x 9"
Item #: BK427
Price: $29.95
Much of early Americana has been destroyed and lost forever. The negatives from which these photographs were made nearly met the same fate. These photographs of the early American cattle industry by frontier photographer Frank Sherman remained untouched in the attic of his Lebanon, Oregon home from the early 1900s until their rediscovery in 1965 and their storage in the archives at the Oregon Historical Society in Portland. Now at last this treasure of history is available to the public. The images of cowboy life give new insights into this romantic period of American history.
