Anotace:	“A rare example of a readable and even entertaining reference book . . . here are tales of family drama and stories of business squabbles, accounts of the first women to pursue photography in the Far West, and the story of the first Chinese person to make pictures in San Francisco. . . . A book which sets new standards for research and becomes an instant bible for anyone working in the fields of western American history or the history of photography.” —From the Foreward <P>This extraordinarily comprehensive, well-documented, biographical dictionary of some 1,500 photographers (and workers engaged in photographically related pursuits) active in western North America before 1865 is enriched by some 250 illustrations. Far from being simply a reference tool, the book provides a rich trove of fascinating narratives that cover both the professional and personal lives of a colorful cast of characters.
