Abstract

From 1889 until his death in 1952, ]. E. Stimson photographed Wyoming scenes. A year after he died, the state of Wyoming purchased the 7526 photographs, many of which were 8" x 10" glassplate negatives. Although he seems less well known, Stimson was to Wyoming photography what Solomon Butcher was in Nebraska or L. A. Huffman was in eastern Montana.
