For millions of Americans, Solomon D. Butcher's photographs
epitomize the sod-house frontier. His late-nineteenth-century
images from western Nebraska constitute the most extensive
photographic record in existence of the generation that settled the
Great Plains. The faces are unforgettable: jaunty bachelors and
earnest husbands, Civil War veterans of both armies, spinster
sodbusters and determined mothers, cowhands, farmhands, and former
slaves-all in search of land of their own. Originally published in
1985, this first book devoted to Butcher and his photographs
presents a unique visual chronicle of Great Plains settlement and
established Butcher's place in frontier photography. Everyone
interested in the plains pioneers or historical American
photography will prize this splendid book.
