The 120 full-page photographs in this book depict people at country fairs, rodeos, mining camps, drilling sites, and even a slaughterhouse - men and women of the American West who work at hard, everyday jobs.
Regarded as a project in photographic history and an expression of the power of photographic art, this book was first published by Thames & Hudson in 1985.
First published by Abrams in 1985 in conjunction with an exhibition at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, "In the American West" is being reissued to accompany a 20th-anniversary re-showing of the exhibition at the same museum.
