About Stephen Longmire Stephen Longmire’s photographs have been exhibited in galleries and museums across the country, including Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Photography and the Guild Hall Museum in East Hampton, New York. They are in the permanent collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and the National Park Service. He has written on photographic art for a wide range of publications, including Afterimage and The Chicago Reader, and taught the history and practice of photography at Georgetown University and Columbia College Chicago. He lives just across the bridge from Sag Harbor, in North Haven, NY. His next book concerns an Iowa prairie that has been used as a cemetery since the 1830s.

This lovely and loving book, attesting to the unorganized acts of preservation that have maintained the truth of a place for three hundred years, is itself a scrupulous act of preservation. — E.L.
