Current mood. Fall approaching.
Drama on the Plains, by Allan C. Houser, Chiricahua Apache, 1979, in Alabaster. Collection of the @plainsindianmuseum in Cody, Wyoming.
J.M. Carey's Law Books, 1862-1868. As Territorial Delegate to the United States Congress, Joseph Carey was responsible for introducing the Wyoming statehood bill and guiding its eventual passage. Before Wyoming was even a territory, though, it was part of Dakota Territory. These 1860s leather-bound law books form a picture of justice and life on the plains in that era. Carey went on to become Wyoming's first Senator, an early Governor, and a Mayor of Cheyenne. These 3 volumes are worn around the edges - clearly much used before the Wyoming legislature repealed or adopted laws of their own. Link to additional information in profile.

My favorite bookstore in the world: El Ateneo Grand Splended in Buenos Aires. Because who wouldn't want to shop books in the balcony and have their café con leche peering from behind a curtain on stage? Regram @ultimatelibrary
Custom rolling library ladder at the Western Design Conference in #jacksonhole this weekend. @feltonandferguson Woodworking created this beauty out of Montana creek-harvested bog birch, cut & dried over a wood stove. Rails made of reclaimed fir corral board, showing marks of long age & weathering. Idaho-made raw steel hardware. Stop by while it's here! A beautiful piece by a lovely team of people at F&F.
