Big Bend Through the Lens of Glenn Burgess: A Photo Journey in Mid-Century West Texas
Big Bend Through the Lens of Glenn Burgess is a photographic commentary on the birth of this national park in West Texas and the surrounding counties that played key roles. Authorized by Congress in 1935 and established as a US national park in 1944, Big Bend protects a key section of the Chihuahua Desert and the Rio Grande canyons. During the 1940s and 1950s, Glenn Burgess (1905-1995), a promoter, photographer, and teacher based in Alpine, Texas, lugged 4x5 and 5x7 sheet-film cameras across the rugged region. He captured Big Bend's beauty and diversity, as well as the incredible efforts to make a remote park accessible to the nation.
