"Lee and Young have admirably elucidated this foundational volume
in the history of American photography by developing references
that emerge from prior readings of these images, as well as
thoughtfully producing new ways of seeing the landscapes Gardner
presents. The book makes available to a wide audience one of the
most important photographic records of any war and certainly the
most interesting visual record of the American Civil War. This is
superior scholarship."--Shirley Samuels, author of "Facing America:
Iconography and the Civil War"
"Anthony Lee and Elizabeth Young's deceptively slim volume is a
complex, enlightening, and elegant study of a significant Civil
War-era document that also greatly enhances our understanding of
nineteenth-century visual culture. The analysis and format of this
collaborative effort will serve as a model for cultural scholarship
for years to come."--Joshua Brown, author of "Beyond the Lines:
Pictorial Reporting, Everyday Life, and the Crisis of Gilded Age
America"
"In this beautifully written analysis of one of the most important
works of nineteenth-century American photography, Lee and Young
restore Gardner's "Sketch Book" to its rightful place as a key
document of American history. At once a report of a newsworthy
event and a meditation on its historical meaning, Gardner's album
is less unmediated reportage than a carefully constructed argument.
In clear, lucid prose, Lee and Young help us understand just how
Gardner made this work that helped fix the Civil War in American
memory."--Martha A. Sandweiss, author of "Print the Legend:
Photography and the American West"
