Photographing Montana 1894-1928: The Life and Work of Evelyn Cameron

Rating:
Summary: Awesome!
Review: A coffee-table book that I actually read cover to cover. Filled with amazing photos from glass plate negs. Excerpts taken from thirty years of daily diaries. Best of all there wasn't much history of the area around Terry, MT until the glass plate negs and diaries were finally revealed by Donna Lucey after she convinced the heir of it all to show the world. A real treasure and one of my all-time favorite books. Evelyn Cameron was truly a frontier woman in every sense of the word.

Summary: Eastern Montana photos by an English homesteader.
Review: Although she was born into British high society, Evelyn Cameron grew to love the desolation of Eastern Montana and photographed the beauty and emptyness of the landscape. Interesting reading about a tough, determined lady and her bookish husband, Ewen. Great photos of Eastern Montana and early homesteaders.

Summary: A Ticket to Montana
Review: Entirely evocative of the Montana landscape. An excellent gift or coffee table book for Montana natives or Montana-philes. Not only does Evelyn capture the physicality of the place - she captures it's soul - it's very essence.

Summary: Gathers photos which portray early Montana life
Review: Evelyn Cameron left her English home to become a rancher in Montana in the late 1800s: she used her photography skills to help support her family, and captured Montana life in the process. Photographing Montana gathers photos which portray early Montana life and deserves a spot in any Montana history collection as well as in art libraries seeking examples of regional photographic talent. Excerpts from her diaries and letters include plenty of autobiographical insights.

Summary: Photographs are exceeded only by the profound diary excerpts
Review: This outstanding book combines both exceptional unusual photographs capturing the time and place, with profound explicit diary notes of everyday life in Montana in the early 1900's. The narrative text is well developed and presents an outstanding review of the frontier by a British lady who made her mark in eastern Montana.
