Cr�ticas

." . . a remarkable, often moving account that combines one woman's nostalgic recollections of uncommonly hard times, and insightful analysis of Lee's photographic legacy, and family snapshots." "Myers has given us an invaluable glimpse into the history of a small community that has become almost a ghost town." Myers . . . is a thoughtful writer whose prose seems effortless and transparent . . . and makes a whole community of individuals come to life in a real page-turner. "The reader is not only engaged by the photos and absorbed by Myers's account of one spunky woman's perspective on homesteading in New Mexico- but is also engrossed by Myers's thought-provoking questions." ." . . highly visual book. . illiminate s both the stark reality and the compelling beauty of Plains ruins. . . Joan Meyers uses photographs, letters, interviews and determined sleuthing to richly detail the brimming life such places contained." Myers has done an admirable job in telling Doris story, and focusing on an often overlooked region. ""Pie Town Woman" describes the back-breaking manual labor of subsistence agriculture and the drudgery of housekeeping." . . . a remarkable, often moving account that combines one womans nostalgic recollections of uncommonly hard times, and insightful analysis of Lees photographic legacy, and family snapshots.

Rese�a del editor

Pie Town, New Mexico, was immortalised in 1940 in the photographs of Russell Lee, who documented life in the high, dry farming community as part of the Farm Security Administration's New Deal survey of American life. This book tells the story of one of the women photographed by Lee. Doris Caudill lived on a homestead with her husband and daughter, who was six years old when Lee made his famous photographs, many of which show Doris planting her garden, canning vegetables, and milking cows. Now, more than sixty years later, Joan Myers, herself a distinguished photographer, introduces us to the woman behind the pictures.

Softcover. Condici�n: Good. First Edition. Pie Town, New Mexico, was immortalized in 1940 in the photographs of Russell Lee, who documented life in the high, dry farming community as part of the Farm Security Administration's New Deal survey of American life. This book tells the story of one of the women photographed by Lee. Doris Caudill lived on a homestead with her husband and daughter, who was six years old when Lee made his famous photographs, many of which show Doris planting her garden, canning vegetables, and milking cows. Now, more than sixty years later, Joan Myers, herself a distinguished photographer, introduces us to the woman behind the pictures.Raised in West Texas, Doris first came to Pie Town on summer trips as a teenager. Faro Caudill courted her in Pie Town and brought her as a young bride to live in a dugout on a homestead in nearby Divide. Money was as scarce as water in this desert community, and a trip to Albuquerque, 180 miles away, was unimaginable. The Caudills went there only once while they lived in Pie Town, to buy a radio at Montgomery Ward. The nearest doctor was 60 miles from Pie Town, so babies were born at home and mothers had to be vigilant against accidents and snakebites. Although the Caudills and their neighbors lived in poverty that is hard for twenty-first-century Americans to imagine, Doris's memories of those Great Depression days are the happiest of her life. She was a lively young woman in the 1930s, and her sense of fun and the pleasure that the people in the tiny community took in each other's company more than made up for the hardships they endured.Joan Myers tells Doris's story and recounts the experiences of Russell and Jean Lee during their stay in Pie Town. Woven through Myers's narrative are her musings on the relationships among memory, photographs, and actual events. Included are a selection of Lee's iconic photographs, Doris's family snapshots, and photographs taken by Myers herself showing the visual residue of those bygone years.
