The Devil's Highway: On the Road in the American West is a collection of works by Joan Meyers, an American female photographer. Born in Iowa in 1944, she majored in music at the prestigious Stanford University, but switched to photography in the 1970s. She has created many works that explore the relationship between humans and the land, including Wondrous Cold, which was shot at McMurdo Station in Antarctica and the South Pole, and Whispered Silences, a series of photographs of Japanese internment camps in the 1940s. This book is a collection of black and white images that document the changing landscape and culture of the American West. It depicts the current state of rural areas in the West, including the collapse of the American Dream, the decline of cowboy culture, and the decline of farms. It also includes the short story The Devil's Highway by William deBuys, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and is a wonderful book in which the photographs and stories complement each other's themes.
