The outback of Riverside County 50 years ago, documented in 71 now vintage photographs. Rocky chaparral, junkyards, ramshackle gas ‘n tire stops, blistered signs, sun baked warehouses, corrugated tin, semi-collapsed houses and other abandoned monuments to failed enterprise inform a close, fascinating look at a rural, desert California that has mainly vanished. The original, 1977-78 photo essay, taken as a UC Riverside grad student. Rich B/W - 80 pages - 71 Reproductions - 22.69
