Ligonier: A Photographic Essay

By: Moerchen, Jeff

With clarity and attention to detail, Jeff Moerchen has captured--in more than 80 black and white photographs--the life of the Hispanic community of Ligonier, a small town in northern Indiana. These men and women have worked to make a comfortable home for themselves, trying to realize their dream of living in America, while avoiding some of the perils they might have experienced in borderlands. More than a narrow study of an immigrant population, Moerchen's evocative photo essay explores a small town as it struggles to survive.
