John Annerino Ordre des livres

Exploring the spiritual significance of the American Southwest, the book combines historical and contemporary photographs with essays and literary quotes. Author John Annerino retraces ancient trails through remote landscapes, revealing the beauty and cultural richness of areas once deemed uninhabitable. His perilous adventures are interwoven with oral histories and stunning imagery, offering a unique perspective on the region's past and present. This work appeals to adventurers and history enthusiasts drawn to the mystique of the American outback.

In 87 color photographs, People of Legend offers striking portraits of the six major tribes of the Southwest: the Apache, the Navajo, the Hualapai, the Pima, the Mojave, and the Papago. As a wilderness guide and southwestern history scholar, Annerino brings a unique perspective and an authoritative voice to the essays which accompany the photographs.

The canyons of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico contain some of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. John Annerino's pictorial celebration of this visually rich region is a handsome memento for those who have heard the wind whistling in these haunting canyons, and a beckoning invitation for those who have not yet made the journey. Annerino has spent much of his adult life exploring this territory--as wilderness runner, adventurer, and photojournalist--and combines his firsthand knowledge with his expertise as a nature photographer and author to create an intimate portrait of these timeless places. Accompanying the photographs are informative essays describing the region's geological and human history.
