This photographic compendium is an album of pictures revealing many of the West's visual wonders. The author and wife would hit the road in a 1993 Volkswagon Eurovan for two weeks once each summer. What could they see of the original American West as it had looked while being founded in the 1800's and even earlier? With a Nikon 35mm still camera Don and Jo M. got a taste of the American West and a few areas to the east too. Hopefully this massive full-color book will entice you to head out west a time or two to see, absorb, and explore a still surviving wonderment. If you're not spellbound by snow-capped mountains, dry barren deserts, and wind-beaten ghost towns, you're not on the road, you're just watching some flat-screen television.
