| Description: |
A work of photography and prose that traces the ways in which American culture grew out of the conflict that characterized the first contact between Native Americans and Europeans. This work depicts a landscape synonymous with American history, from its tumultuous beginning. |
| Synopsis: |
From the author and photographer who brought us "a new genre of art book" in "Albemarle: A Story of Landscape and American Identity" comes a new collaborative effort detailing the story of our nations birth: "Jamestown and the Making of America". This beautiful work of photography and prose traces the ways in which American culture grew out of the conflict that characterized the first contact between Native Americans and Europeans. Expanding in their unique treatment of Albemarle County, the artists use photographs from our time to suggest both the ancient and recent pasts, creating a virtual experience from the Colonial era into modern times. Telling this great story in modern terms by dusting off the history to reveal the main players as fresh and alive today as they were then, "Jamestown and the Making of America" beautifully depicts a landscape synonymous with American history, from its tumultuous beginning through today. |
