Countess, socialite, rancher, publisher, novelist. Called one of the most powerful (and despised) women in the country by the 1940s. Here Cissy Patterson, the "Countess of Flat Creek," cheekily uses her divorced name in this 1928 novel, a fictionalized account of her life at the old Russian court with Polish Count Gizycka (and the drama of how she left him, returning to the states). An inheritor of the Chicago Tribune fortune, Patterson went on to become publisher and editor of the Washington Times-Herald. Her getaway from the drama of Washington and Chicago was at Flat Creek Ranch right here in Jackson Hole.

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 These 3 volumes are worn around the edges - clearly much used before the Wyoming legislature repealed or adopted laws of their own.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.
