Explore the vast landscapes of early 20th-century Wyoming through the eyes of Elinore Pruitt Stewart in Letters of a Woman Homesteader. Her spirited and heartfelt letters from her homestead, which began in 1909, are filled with wit, resilience, and a fierce sense of independence. Echoing photographer Lora Webb Nichols, Stewart documented the joys and challenges of frontier life with a keen eye for detail, capturing both the harshness of the land and the warmth of friendship and community. This timeless classic intertwines seamlessly with our exhibit Lora Webb Nichols: Photographs Made, Photographs Collected, inviting readers to explore two perspectives on homesteading life: one through a lens, and the other though a pen.
