Factories in Youngstown and Detroit, Ohio; paper works in Sturgeon Fall, Ontario and Kalamazoo, Michigan; and coal counties of West Virginia are among the sites that High (public history, Concordia U., Montreal) and photographer and historian Lewis describe. Their concern is not the physical remains of industry, but the stories and memories of the people who were abandoned once their pastures were no longer green.
