About This Item
Lincoln NE: University of Nebraska Press, 1990. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. 131 b/w photographs of landscapes, architecture, and interiors. An excellent evocation of the American Midwest. Foreword by Ted Kooser, Preface by Roger Bruhn, Notes by Edward F Zimmer. The Great Plains Photography Series. Against a stark horizon in a harsh climate, settlers in Nebraska everywhere erected monuments to their optimism. The buildings pictured in Dreams in Dry Places are not just famous landmarks like the State Capitol but also humble farmhouses, barns, grain elevators, courthouses, banks, churches, stores, and theaters. They represent every kind of architecture to be found in Nebraska--folk, high-style, commercial, residential, pioneer, and modern; the unexpected and the familiar, the poetic and the prosaic, good and bad. Caught by Roger Bruhn's camera, these structures always suggest the spiritual resources of their builders and inhabitants, who struggled for a livelihood on the Great Plains. Record # 385107
