Expansive (16.5x12.5") like the land it depicts, this attractive, faux-leather-bound book pairs historical b&w landscape photography by Jackson (1843-1942) with contemporary color rephotography by Fielder. Chapters by Coloradoan journalist and environmentalist Ed Marston describe events that passed during the 130 or so years between the photos -- most are anecdotal decriptions of land management or development policies, environmental transgressions of mining and oil companies, the demise of rural western towns, and Marston's experiences as a publisher and editor in western Colorado.
