This initial volume presents Lora first as an adolescent, then as young wife and mother. The early background is a valley homestead in territorial Wyoming; at the turn of the century, a copper boom brings speculators, prospectors, and an accompanying flow of outsiders. It is in Grand Encampment City and the Mining District that Lora comes of age. Her life, seemingly ordinary, became extraordinary through the power of her written record and her photographs- both full of spontaneous feeling and yet exhibiting objectivity which makes Lora’s experience university and memorable. This book is a collection of Lora’s own words from her diaries from 1898-1912 compiled by Nancy F. Anderson.
