Beginning as an army musician, he soon developed his avocation of photography to such an extent that it gradually supplanted his regular assignments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Never a man to limit his interest to mundane daily affairs, Barthelmess was keenly aware of the significance of the place and time in which he lived. While serving on the western frontier of the United States during post-Civil War days, he was \"catching shadows\" in his little black box, as the Indians described photography. His photographs preserved many details of military life on the western plains. Barthelmess captured what the men there looked like, details of their equipment and activities, their actions at ease and under stress, and the historic events of that time and place. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Including more than one hundred of Barthelmess's fine photographs, \u003ci\u003ePhotographer on an Army Mule\u003c\/i\u003e is an important contribution to the history of the nineteenth-century American West.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.91 x 9.03 x 5.95 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 1965\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47279108096249,"sku":"9780806121826","price":39.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/L3RFeFcydGFKV1UxWXZ4UmgvRXdDQT09.webp?v=1769016055","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/photographer-on-an-army-mule-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
