Of all the dramatic mountain lake environments in the world, the Lake Tahoe basin--split between Nevada and California--has the greatest draw. A destination for excursion-goers and vacationers since the 1870s, Tahoe is a mecca for second homes, skiing, summer visits, retirement tax havens, and spirited gambling.Lake Tahoe: A Rephotographic History offers the most comprehensive view of the Lake and its environment in a compelling visual compendium. Peter Goin and his research team spent more than two decades researching original images made in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and they rephotographed selected historic views between 2009 and 2021. Each pair of photographs reflects two moments in time in a historical narrative of sight and words. This is the largest photographic survey of Lake Tahoe, and it will be the definitive survey for many years to come.
Review Quotes
"Put your oars in the water and journey around Lake Tahoe's past and present with this extraordinary collection of historical and contemporary photographs. In this comprehensive study, Peter Goin and his research team document how the Tahoe shoreline and nearby settlements have changed over time during the past 160 years and how these changes have produced a lake that remains both a scenic jewel and a complex, carefully managed cultural landscape."--William Wyckoff, author of Riding Shotgun with Norman Wallace: Rephotographing the Arizona Landscape
"This book is a valuable and very readable work of comparative historical and modern images documenting the cultural and environmental changes at Lake Tahoe. A must-read for anyone interested in the unique and compelling history of Lake Tahoe."--David C. Antonucci, author of Fairest Picture: Mark Twain at Lake Tahoe
