Straight West: Portraits and Scenes from Ranch Life in the American West

Verlyn Klinkenborg

4.2/5 ( ratings)

"Straight West" is a book of sixty black-and-white photographs about the deep interior of the American West, a place whose people are defined by their relations to animals and the land. The country of "Straight West" is enormous, stretching from the Mexican border to Montana, but it is also intimate, a matter of heart as well as geography. Lindy Smith's moving, powerful photographs capture a world that is too little known: a landscape of ranch work, self-reliance, and hard-won trust; a place defined by dogs, sheep, cattle, and horses -- as well as humans.

Language: English
