"Carleton Watkins: The Complete Mammoth Photographs is among the
most important books ever devoted to the history of
photography."--Jed Perl, The New Republic
"A monumental achievement in the pictorial historiography of
19th-century America, loaded with new images and data, this will be
an indispensable resource for students of photography and U.S.
history."--Library Journal
"A staunchly great book."--The Stranger
"An invaluable resource for anyone interested in U.S. photographic
or landscape history."--Monteral Gazette

"The rare piece of scholarship that takes a known figure and
substantially alters our understanding of him. The result . . . is
a revelation: A strong argument that Watkins is more than a
familiar photographer, he was the first great all-American
artist."--Tyler Green, Modern Art Notes
"This extraordinary body of work produced by photographer Carleton
Watkins . . . between 1858 and 1891 constitutes one of the longest
and most productive careers in 19th century American
photography."--Clickers & Flickers
