George Alexander Grant is an unknown elder in the field of American landscape photography. Just as they did the work of his contemporaries Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Eliot Porter, and others, millions of people viewed Grant's photographs; unlike those contemporaries, few even knew Grant's name. Landscapes for the People shares his story through his remarkable images and a compelling biography profiling patience, perseverance, dedication, and an unsurpassed love of the natural and historic places that Americans chose to preserve.

A Pennsylvania native, Grant was introduced to the parks during the summer of 1922 and resolved to make parks work and photography his life. Seven years later, he received his dream job and spent the next quarter century visiting the four corners of the country to produce images in more than one hundred national parks, monuments, historic sites, battlefields, and other locations. He was there to visually document the dramatic expansion of the National Park Service during the New Deal, including the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Grant's images are the work of a master craftsman. His practiced eye for composition and exposure and his patience to capture subjects in their finest light are comparable to those of his more widely known contemporaries. Nearly fifty years after his death, and in concert with the 2016 centennial of the National Park Service, it is fitting that George Grant's photography be introduced to a new generation of Americans.

The Thick Red and Black Spaghetti of Power
Size: 20FT Black & 20FT Red
If electricity had highways, this would be an interstate. The cable feels substantial, the copper conductors are flexible enough to work with, and the included lugs and heat shrink tubing make installation easier. Great for batteries, inverters, solar systems, RV electrical upgrades, marine projects, and welding setups. Voltage drop stays low thanks to the heavy gauge construction, and the insulation feels durable enough for demanding environments. Overall, a solid wiring kit that inspires confidence when moving serious current.

Great cable kit.
Size: 20FT Black & 20FT Red, Size: 20FT Black & 20FT Red
Great heavy duty cable. Good thick feeling insulation that looks the real deal. Wire is soft enough to route easily without too much resistance. Appreciate it coming with the lugs and heat shrink instead of you having to source extras. Seems to be truly copper as listed. Great deal for the length if so. Worked for what I needed on my UTV.

Cheap price for the cable and terminal ends with heat shrink.
Size: 20FT Black & 20FT Red
Good 6 gauge wire, jacket seems sturdy and like it won't crack easily over time like some wire. Comes with all the connectors shown too so you don't need to find end ring connections to terminate the ends. Just need a punch or crimp tool for the terminals but if you already have that then just cut your wire length and add the ends for battery cable.
