Carolyn Kneese & John DeMers
Hardcover
B&W photographs
From one Golden Age of Texas highways to another, including the construction of the atomic bomb in the “secret city” of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the lives of Carolyn Calvin Kneese’s parents moved to the dangerous rhythms of the 20th century. As a child, Carolyn knew little of the engineering work her father did; not until the de-classification of Cold War information did she fully understand the globe-changing political purposes of his projects. With a detective’s eye and a daughter’s heart, Carolyn searches the snapshots from their century to discover what the choices of her parents’ generation mean for all of us.
