Hardcover. Condition: Good. Edward King (Photograph Selector) (illustrator). Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 12 inches. 128 pages. Illustrations (color). Contributing Photographers. Bottom corners bumped. Some cover wear and soiling. No dust jacket present. Introduction by Bill Nunn. The idea of putting together a book like this was untried, but the response was quite encouraging. A hundred and fifty photographers submitted over a thousand photographs, and the job of selecting slightly over a hundred fro this book was made difficult by having to choose between so many excellent ones. As the reader will see from the biographical sketches that begin on page 124, the fifty-five photographers who are represented in this collection include both professional who ply their craft every day and Sunday photographers who devote their leisure time to the medium. The length of experience with photography ranges from a retired executive who has pursued the hobby for several decades to a high school student who is perhaps just beginning a photographic journey that will last a lifetime. And the photographers live in ay different areas of the state, from Kirksville in the north to Holist Summit in the center to Springfield in the southwest. Two principal criteria were used in making the selections of photographs: first, quality of image and composition of subject matter were considered; second, the subject matter itself was weighted with the goal of having as much diversity as possible in the final selection, in order to show the diverse and colorful face of Missouri. We hope the reader will enjoy in the pages of this work the beauty and vitality of Missouri's landscape and culture. Photographs show the state's major cities, gardens, bridges, churches, mills, farms, parks, lakes, rivers, riverboats, caverns, and wildlife. This collection of photographs by photographers from throughout Missouri is the result of a general call for color photographs about the state. Missouri is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States. Ranking 21st in land area, it is bordered by eight states (tied for the most with Tennessee): Iowa to the north, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee to the east, Arkansas to the south and Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska to the west. In the south are the Ozarks, a forested highland, providing timber, minerals, and recreation. The Missouri River, after which the state is named, flows through the center and into the Mississippi River, which makes up the eastern border. With more than six million residents, it is the 19th-most populous state of the country. The largest urban areas are St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, and Columbia; the capital is Jefferson City. Humans have inhabited what is now Missouri for at least 12,000 years. The Mississippian culture, which emerged at least in the ninth century, built cities and mounds before declining in the 14th century. When European explorers arrived in the 17th century, they encountered the Osage and Missouria nations. The French incorporated the territory into Louisiana, founding Ste. Genevieve in 1735 and St. Louis in 1764. After a brief period of Spanish rule, the United States acquired Missouri as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Americans from the Upland South rushed into the new Missouri Territory. Missouri was admitted as a slave state as part of the Missouri Compromise of 1820. Many from Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee settled in the Boonslick area of Mid-Missouri. Soon after, heavy German immigration formed the Missouri Rhineland. Missouri played a central role in the westward expansion of the United States, as memorialized by the Gateway Arch. The Pony Express, Oregon Trail, Santa Fe Trail and California Trail all began in Missouri. As a border state, Missouri's role in the American Civil War was complex, and it was subject to rival governments, raids, and guerilla warfare. After the war, both Greater St. Louis and the Kansas City metropolitan area became centers of industrialization and business. Today the state is divided in. Seller Inventory # 86744
