There they lived with three different families for a month; the result of their stay was a collaboration, a record of place, of the people who shaped the land, and of the rhythm of their lives." "With a sixty-four-page photographic prologue of Evans's images, reproduced from archival negatives, the new edition introduces the legendary author and photographer to a new generation."--BOOK JACKET.
