Stone Country - Then and Now (Paperback, New Edition)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

Quarrying, cutting, and carving limestone has provided work for
thousands of people in Indiana for nearly two centuries. Along
highways and backroads, the brawny machinery these workers use to
finesse the stone, the humpbacked mills where they shape it, and
the rails and roads where they ship it dot the landscape. In this
new edition of Stone Country, Scott Russell Sanders and Jeffrey A.
Wolin talk with the stone workers, explore the quarries and mills,
and trample along creeks and railroad spurs uncovering the history
of the industry and the people who built it. These new stories and
photographs are a biography, not of a person-although it is filled
with many portraits of individuals-but of a place. It is an
up-close look at a singular point on the planet where the miracles
of geology have yielded a special kind of stone, and where
landscape, towns, and the people themselves bear its mark.
