Photographing the American Dream.
by John E. Carter
Copyright 1985, Paperback, 143 pages
For millions of Americans, Solomon D. Butcher's photographs epitomize the sod-house frontier. His images from western Nebraska constitute the most extensive photographic record of the generation that settled the Great Plains. Their faces are imprinted on our minds: jaunty bachelors and earnest husbands, spinster sodbusters, determined mothers, cowhands, farmhands, and former slaves -- all in search of land of their own. This book, devoted to Butcher and his photos, presents a unique visual chronicle of that epoch, firmly establishing Butcher's place in frontier photography.
