About the Book

This is the story of Herbert Wendell Gleason, a clergyman turned photographer who has been unjustly relegated to the margins of history. Gleason abandoned a career as a Congregational minister in midlife and went on to become one of the most distinguished landscape photographers of his age. He took many photographs of Yosemite, Zion, and other parks for the National Park Service, and also worked up a large number of slide presentations on botanical and environmental subjects which he presented to civic and environmental groups throughout the country. But at the core of Gleasons achievement lies a series of photographs he took over a period of nearly forty years that document the places Henry David Thoreau visited and referred to in his voluminous writings. Selections drawn from this body of work, commonly referred to as Gleasons Thoreau Country images, were published in several editions coupled with pertinent texts from Thoreaus work. In recent times critics have begun to consider Gleasons work to be as important as that of his contemporaries Mathew Brady, Lewis Hine, and Jacob August Riis.

About the Author

Author Dale Schwie merged a career in professional photography with his long-time interest in Henry David Thoreau in writing Taking Sides with the Sun. Schwies experience in producing audio-visual sales and training programs for corporations and health care organizations has also given him added insight into Gleasons career delivering illustrated lectures on Thoreau, the national parks, and other similar subjects. Dale has served on the board of directors of the Thoreau Society and is the author of the article Herbert W. Gleason: A Photographers Journey to Thoreaus World.
