The Book
The filmmaker Ken Burns has commented on these photos, saying:
"In these wonderful images can be found the soul of a nation, a legacy that is fast disappearing in the face of the developers' relentless march. In this vernacular inventory, so beautifully rendered, is also our future".

Richard Moe, President, National Trust for Historic Preservation says:
"These haunting and eloquent photographs were taken in a present-day corner of upstate New York, but they are links with the America that used to be. The houses, barns and stores they depict are a diverse lot – some stand proudly square-cornered and handsome, others are literally falling apart – but they share something in common: They connect us with the unheralded artisans who created them and the nameless families who lived and labored in them. Steve Gross and Susan Daley have done us a great favor by reminding us of the fragility of that connection – and the importance of keeping it intact so that it can continue to enrich our communities and inform our lives."
