{"product_id":"9781607321927","title":"Passage to Wonderland: Rephotographing Joseph Stimson's Views of the Cody Road to Yellowstone National Park, 1903 and 2008","description":"\u003cbr\u003eIn 1903 the Cody Road opened, leading travelers from Cody, Wyoming, to Yellowstone National Park. Cheyenne photographer J. E. Stimson traveled the route during its first week in existence, documenting the road for the state of Wyoming's contribution to the 1904 World's Fair. His images of now-famous landmarks like Cedar Mountain, the Shoshone River, the Holy City, Chimney Rock, Sylvan Pass, and Sylvan Lake are some of the earliest existing photographs of the route. In 2008, 105 years later, Michael Amundson traveled the same road, carefully duplicating Stimson's iconic original photographs. In \u003ci\u003ePassage to Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e, these images are paired side by side and accompanied by a detailed explanation of the land and history depicted.\u003cp\u003eAmundson examines the physical changes along \"the most scenic fifty miles in America\" and explores the cultural and natural history behind them. This careful analysis of the paired images make \u003ci\u003ePassage to Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e more than a \"then and now\" photography book--it is a unique exploration of the interconnectedness between the Old West and the New West. It will be a wonderful companion for those touring the Cody Road as well as those armchair tourists who can follow the road on Google Earth using the provided GPS coordinates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe University Press of Colorado gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University toward the publication of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Colorado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031507288304,"sku":"9781607321927","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781607321927_p0.jpg?v=1763837054","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781607321927","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
