Paula Chamlee returned home to photograph and write about the farm where she grew up on the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle, a farm where her parents, then in their late eighties, still farmed their 1,100 acres all by themselves. With intensity and insight, she created a work of extraordinary depth and cultural significance. This emotionally charged and aesthetically powerful document provides an intimate look at her home place and reveals a way of live and value system that are quickly vanishing. Chamlee's writing in the introduction sets her photographs in the context of Texas history and her family heritage. In addition, her extensive "Notes on the Photographs" provides information and insights about the pictures and evokes the flavor of farm life in the twentieth century. In the Foreword, George F. Thompson meditates on the profound place that rural life, especially the family farm, still holds in the nation's collective imagination and memory.
