Working with a research team and the collections of the South and North Lake Tahoe Historical Societies, Nevada Historical Society, and U. of Nevada, Goin (U. of Nevada, Reno) assembles a collection of b&w photographs documenting the evolution of the South Lake Tahoe region. Juxtaposing historical images with their modern counterparts, the text demonstrates for general readers and historians the ways in which the area has undergone change while also attempting to conform as much as possible to the landscape that early poets, visionaries, and health-seekers imagined.
