More about the book

The biography delves into the life of Carleton Watkins, a pivotal photographer whose work shaped the American environmental imagination and aided in the preservation of Yosemite National Park. Tyler Green argues that Watkins played a crucial role in creating a "cultural Unionism" that connected the West to the national narrative during the Civil War. The book offers a fresh perspective on the American West's formation, blending formal analysis with engaging writing that brings historical events to life, making them resonate with contemporary readers.
