Today most people view the outdoor toilet with a mixture of horror, amusement, nostalgia and awe. Yet outhouses were used all over the world not that long ago. In some remote areas, they're still used - with the same mixed emotions. Here and there these useful little buildings are still treasured and preserved. Most outhouses, though, are slowly being reclaimed by the earth through the effects of neglect, weather and gravity. Fortunately, before the last of their kind succumbed to the effects of wind, rain and indoor plumbing, Sherman Hines captured them on film. Outhouses of the West contains some of the most unusual and fascinating images from his travels across western North America - the wild west. Some of them remain in use everyday and many have not welcomed a guest for years. But all have one thing in common - they were built to fill a noble function and can stand with pride.
