Brian Brown documents the social, cultural, and historical past of our American South, its disappearing social and cultural monuments, which are the archeology of Southern life. Deftly and lovingly Brian has endeavored to capture the remains of a bygone era, left to the memories of the old. You can almost see the people and the toil of daily life in his photographs and he never misses the crumbling remnants of a Southern gentry and aristocracy. These photographs are important documents of our American common heritage. -Don Noyes-More Ph.D.
