Dust jacket notes: "George Fiske, Yosemite's first resident photographer, receives long-overdue attention in this well-illustrated volume. Fiske assumes a much-deserved prominence in nineteenth-century western photography with the publication of this collection of images and accompanying text. Ansel Adams has called Fiske 'a top interpretive photographer' and has said: 'I really can't get excited at Watkins and Muybridge -- I do get excited at Fiske. The views presented here, primarily from the 1870s and 1880s, represent a selection of his work in boh Yosemite and Big Trees, where Fiske as a resident had the freedom, and clearly the temperament, to pursue the transitory as well as the monumental aspects of the park. Returning season after season to certain viewpoints or following with his camera the progression of a storm or sunset, Fiske recorded the drama of Yosemite that no previous photographer had captured. Particularly fascinated by the area in winter, he made a spectacular series of pictures of Yosemite's famous waterfalls frozen in cascades of ice. Fiske was a sensitive observer of nature whose home happened to be what many early visitors called the meeting place of heaven and earth: Yosemite Valley. The eighty images in this book have been reproduced using the duotone process. This process helps to bring out the original colors of the emulsions used in that time, which varied from sepia to near purple, and it aids in capturing the original spirit of Fiske's work."

Bob Fiske's “life story is an inspiration to all Americans, not just those directly involved in the private or public practice of law.”-– Senator George J. MitchellBob Fiske is one of the best-known and most respected lawyers of the past half century. In private practice at Davis Polk & Wardwell and as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, he has been involved in some of the highest profile cases of our time. Not only was he called on to act in the politically charged Whitewater affair including the death (suicide or murder?) of the Clinton aide Vincent Foster, but also the prosecution of drug kingpin Nicky Barnes (“Mr. Untouchable”), the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster, the USFL vs. NFL, the most contentious America's Cup ever, and the financial swindler Bernie Madoff.This is Bob Fiske's legal autobiography. It's an insider's look at some of the most fascinating and important cases of our time, complete with telling anecdotes, colorful characters and legal cliff-hangers.

Amazing portrait photography of the Fort Yates Native Americans, and an astonishing historical documentFirst publication of the works of Frank Bennett Fiske Bound in a unique ‘lay flat' format for optimal viewing pleasureThe Standing Rock Sioux of Fort Yates in the west of North Dakota have been frequently in the news recently because of the demonstrations against the oil pipeline that crosses their land. Over 100 years ago Frank Bennett Fiske (1883-1952) photographed members of the Standing Rock people in his studio in his birth place Fort Yates. The men and women he portrayed were his friends and neighbors: Native Americans living in the reservation. With a big studio camera, he made photos that have a tremendous depth, on glass negatives that have seldom been shown to the public. Now for the first time these photos are published in a book. Photographer and graphic designer Murray Lemley, also from North Dakota, made a selection of the images for this world premiere of Fiske's work."These pictures show a historical and artistic vision of proud people in a difficult transitional period. The glass negatives of Frank Fiske are a sumptuous source of information and understanding" - Rod Slemmons. American photography expert.

From 1862 to 1864 Captain Samuel Fiske wrote a long series of articles to his home paper, The Springfield Republican, under the pen name "Dunn Browne." This book contains nearly all of his columns. If you read no other book by a soldier in the Civil War, read this one. Classically-trained, a world traveler before the war, Fiske had a brilliant intellect and a natural talent for humor that makes reading his Civil War articles a great pleasure for anyone interested in the period. His keen observations of events go well beyond camp life. His first service with the 14th Connecticut was at Antietam, the single bloodiest day of fighting in U.S. history. Fiske fought at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, and at Gettysburg he was part of Gibbon's corps that repulsed Pickett's Charge on July 3rd. All of that is described in Fiske's inimitable way. Captain Fiske was well-aware that he was witnessing history on a titanic scale. Yet through it all is his incredibly charming and often barbed wit. Included in this book is a biographical sketch of Fiske by his friend, W.S. Tyler. Samuel Fiske was severely wounded on the second day of the Battle of the Wilderness and died sixteen days later. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
