Encounters

This amazing collection of photographs spans five decades of American history and captures the unique spirit of an indomitable woman and the South she calls home. Kathryn Tucker Windham shows scarecrows decorating an unworked field, old men pondering dominoes on the porch of a country story, and little boys scurrying to save the laundry on the line from a coming storm. Each photo is accompanied by an essay by the author. 60 photos.
