Pioneer photographers of the far west 1840-1865<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. …Go west, young man<\/a>. Many photographers did indeed ‘go west’ – in North America, that is. Messrs Palmquist and Kailbourn recently released a “biographical dictionary” of the “pioneer photographers of the far west<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

This opus was reviewed in issue 26-4. The review begins, “This is a most comprehensive, well\u00a0documented, biographical dictionary of\u00a0some 1,500 photographers (and workers\u00a0engaged in photographically related pursuits) that were active in western North\u00a0America before 1865.<\/p>\n

“It is enriched by some 250 illustrations, many previously unpublished. Peter Palmquist and Thomas Kailbourn, two of America\u2019s leading photo history researchers, have produced an epic production.<\/p>\n

“With over 800 pages [above link suggests 639 pages] this is but volume #1. A second volume will take the study eastwards to the Mississippi River and include Prairie Canada and Mexico.” …<\/p>\n
