A good overview of Jackson's work can be found in the article "The Life and Times of William Henry Jackson," by Rowe Findley and Jim Amos, in National Geographic magazine, February 1989. |
| The most extensive account of his importance is Peter B. Hales William Henry Jackson and the Transformation of the American Landscape (Philadelphia, Temple University Press, 1988). |
| Another important study is Beaumont Newhall and Diana Edkin's William Henry Jackson (Dobbs Ferry, NY, Morgan and Morgan, 1974). |
| Jackson himself wrote two autobiographies, The Pioneer Photographer: Rocky Mountain Adventures with a Camera (Yonkers-on-Hudson, New York, World Publishing Co., 1929), and Time Exposure: The Autobiography of William Henry Jackson (New York, G.B. Putnam's Sons, 1940). The latter contains a whole chapter on his visit to India, much of it about a sumptuous dinner with the Maharajah of Kashmir. |
| The best book on Jackson's Photochroms is The Birth of a Century. Early Color Photographs of America by Jim Hughes (New York, Tauris Parke Books, 1994). It is based a set of Photochroms recently rediscovered in mint condition in a New Mexico garage. |
| The most comprehensive resource on William Henry Jackson is the just published William Henry Jackson An Annotated Bibliography [1862-1995] by Thomas H. Harrell, Ph.D. (Nevada City, Carl Mautz Publishing, 1995. Email: Folkimage@aol.com). Many years of research have led to a complete listing of works by and about Jackson, further explored by Dr. Harrell's on-line bibliography of web-based information about William Henry Jackson, Time Exposure. |
