About This Item
Philadelphia, Penna: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2002. Hardbound. VG+. Green cloth boards. Color photograph DJ. 110 pp. Color and BW plates. "James F. O'Gorman reads through oral histories, newspaper reports, and the terse factual writing of agricultural diaries to bring to life the risks and rewards of living close to the seasons, at the mercy of rainfall and sunshine. He has collected an array of vintage and newly commissioned photos of the work of growing tobacco, from de facto portraits of anonymous laborers to images of the sheds themselves, with all their ventilating doors open, welcoming the air."
