'Encampment, Wyoming: Selections from the Lora Webb Nichols Archive 1899-1948' features Nichols' own work and the images by amateur photographers she collected in the early 20th century as the proprietor of a photofinishing business in southern Wyoming. Culled from over 24,000 photographs, the book provides a dynamic visual window into the social, domestic, and economic aspects of the American Western frontier and captures an elusive sense of place through the images of this community of friends, families, and strangers.

First editions. A broken run of this very uncommon bimonthly regional magazine from Wyoming which began publication in May of 1929 and went through at least April of 1930, with 24 issues in Volume I. After 1930, we find no mention of the publication, so it seems to have ceased after just 1 year. According to his obituary in theCasper Star-Tribunefrom 1960, editor Emmett Fuller was a merchant and newspaperman in Casper before publishing the Pepper Pot,which folded due to a limited audience in the state. He then went on to publish a similar magazine,Western Progress,in Denver in 1932, andThe New Mexico Engineerin Albuquerque in the 1940s. The Pepper Pot'smission was to "inform, to entertain, and to assist in the more rapid and proper development of the state. [by] bringing forth Wyoming literary talent; Wyoming scientific, inventive and business genius; and [through] wholesome discussion of matters important to the state." Perhaps the most well-known name, and one which appears frequently throughout these issues is that of Lora Webb Nichols, (1883-1962), with articles, stories, and poems. Nichols was a photographer from Encampment, Wyoming whose bold Western images captured the spirit of pioneer life in and around the copper mining town. She would loan her cameras to cowboys and other passers-through, asking them to return photographs which she would then develop in her studio. Other names which appear in these pages are Tim J. Mahoney, Doris Garst, Perry W. Jenkins, Daphne Rowell, Christy MacManus, Sheila Hart, Sylvia Oldman Upwall, and others.
