History and Culture
Courtesy of the Utah State University digital library, here is a wonderful book about the four-corners area of the American southwest. I hope you enjoy the stories and the old photographs!
Wish I could see this. Any time I try to download and open it, Windows 7 drops me into the moronic and useless, post-literate media player screen, where I can do nothing, find nothing and read nothing.
No, I've downloaded it twice, and can't even find it on my PC. It drops me into the joke Windows viewer, but the PDF does not show there, or in any of my download files at all.
I have a Sumatra pdf reader that works perfectly, IF I can find the damn file after downloads.
DWT, check you gmail. Noah converted the book into a word doc! I don't know how to add that to my original post, so I just attached the file and emailed it to you. Enjoy! :)
It sits for a couple minutes trying to load, then says 'sorry, we cannot generate a view of this documant at this time. Then it directs me back to a pdf file.
Hmm, I may have spokem too soon. As I was about to post the above, it came up as a Wordpad documant and is trying to display there.
Well, it's there, but with a disclaimer that; 'Wordpad soes not support all the features of this documents format. Some content might be missing or displayed improperly.
However, I am seeing some puctures, at least, so I hope to get most of the effect.
There is something about that part of the country that is hypnotic.
ReplyDeleteThe stories are wonderful, and relate a history not taught in schools. But the photographs...the photographs...are indeed hypnotic!

ReplyDeleteIt opens for me in Adobe Reader. Maybe you could try that?
DeleteI think you'll find it worth the aggravation. :)

Try this: tools>downloads>right click>open containing folder.
DeleteThat should let you know where the heck your 'puter is saving the file.
If not, maybe someone else at The Table has an idea. Or a cup of coffee.
Lady Red - I've tried that before, and it is simply not in my downloads file - or anywhere else I have looked.
ReplyDeleteThanks for trying but I've been frustrated by this for a long time. I essentially just never bother with pdf's any more.
DWT, check you gmail. Noah converted the book into a word doc! I don't know how to add that to my original post, so I just attached the file and emailed it to you. Enjoy! :)
ReplyDeleteTell Noah Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBut it still will not work for me.

Let's see what happens.

Well, please tell Noah Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteThe format was pretty messed up, but I was able to read most of the stories.
But, as you said above, it is the photos that have by far the greater impact.
There is a haunting quality to most of them, something that seems ever to be caught only in black & white.
The people somehow look more real than in any color snapshot.
