Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover, black cloth with silver titles, 10.8 x 13.9 inches. viii, 232 pages. Illustrated with some 200 historic photographs. Technical Appendix. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. The Contents include an Introduction, The American Dream, The Way West, Golden Alaska, The Native Americans, and The Bountiful Land. David Phillips was born February 25, 1931. He grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and became interested in photography at a young age. He was chief photographer for Monsanto Chemical Company in St. Louis before moving to Chicago and becoming a freelance photographer. In addition to a successful commercial photography business, Phillips became a collector of historic photographs and photographic negatives. This work in historic photography led him to write three history books and to produce television shows on the history of Chicago and various aspects of photography and cinematography history. Phillips also taught photography courses at Illinois Institute of Technology, and he curated a number of photographic exhibits on Chicago history. Robert A. Weinstein was a research associate for the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History and a consultant to the UCLA Library of Photographic Archives. From dust jacket notes: "The art of photography has been developing for more than 100 years, and for his Taming of the West the author has selected from his collection of several hundred thousand glass wet-plate negatives some two hundred of the most outstanding to depict the westward movement in America from 1850 to 1900. Unique photographic reproductions portray the migration west from its beginnings in the East, the struggle to carve a new life in a new land, and the efforts to realize the truly American Dream, giving substance and reality to a vital segment of American history. The Taming of the West reveals not only the expansion of a nation but also the growth of a people, their aspirations and their achievements, their defeats and their victories. This spectacular visual document records in exquisite detail the toil and sweat of miners and farmers, the fever of gold-rush Alaska, the pride and resignation of the Indian - unheralded people who tamed the land, quite unaware that they were effecting a major transformation in American history. The Taming of the West is a pictorial social history of the men and women who forged westward, leaving their pattern on the land and the imprint of the land on our culture.". Seller Inventory # 82162
