From prizewinning pigs to corn dogeating contests, from beauty queens to marching bands, from gravitydefying midway rides to miracle machines for back pain, from butter sculptures to demolition derbies, state fairs are a mother lode of pure Americana.State Fair is a visual distillation of Arthur Graces photographic odyssey through fairs in ten statesCalifornia, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. Time and again, regardless of geographical location, Graces images deftly capture the strange mixture of the traditional, the kitsch, and the offthewall that is unique to these annual gatherings, which began as a celebration of rural American life and have evolved into supersized extravaganzas. Whether the photographs show the beaming pride of 4H egg champions, the intensity of a tattooed arm wrestler, or a forlorn alligator waiting to be wrestled in a wading pool, the authenticity of Graces imagery is unmistakable. You can almost hear the shouts from the midway, smell the animals in the barns, and taste the cherry pie.Sure to bring back vivid memories for anyone whos ever attended a state fair, and bound to entice the uninitiated, State Fair reminds us how much we still crave to go out and have real experiences beyond the fantasies we see on our computer, TV, and movie screens. It shows that far from being an anachronism in the twentyfirst century, state fairs are a vital, living tradition throughout America.

I was really excited to read the Focus on American History series, but honestly, it didn’t meet my expectations. Some of the facts seemed off, and the layout was a bit cluttered. It’s okay, but I wouldn’t buy it again.

Interesting but Lacked Depth
The Focus on American History series is a good read, but I found some sections to be a bit superficial. It touched on many topics, which is great, but I wish it had gone deeper into a few of them. Still a nice book for casual history buffs!
