Yellowstone Country

"A regional pioneer of photojournalism, Jack Richard photographed in the Yellowstone area from the 1940s to the 1980s, where his crisp, superbly composed images captured the Western way of life.

From ranch activity, to national park wonders to the internment of Japanese Americans at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center near Cody, Wyoming, during World War II, Richard's brilliant photography chronicles the American West from the end of the frontier era to the age of tourism, industry, and large-scale ranch operations.".

"Yellowstone Country breaks down Richard's work into nine separate themes, from landscapes and wildlife in Yellowstone National Park to careful still-lifes created in the studio. The 140 photographs selected for this book, culled from over 160,000 images held in the McCracken Research Library at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, represent not only the best of his work, but also tell the story of a unique place and its people and the photographer who cherished them both."--BOOK JACKET.
