An American Journey Images of Railroading During the Depression.
Mark Vandercook. At the height of the Great Depression, the Farm Security Administration set out to photograph the state of America and its people. This book shows a fragment of that legendary collection - a snapshot of what could be called the "railroad culture," a culture that has long since vanished. Taken by nine of America's greatest photographers between 1935-1941, these photographs are a wonderful journey through time. 174 pages, 140 B&W photos, 11"x 8½", hardcover. |  $24.95   |
