For your consideration is this first edition book, “Before Barbed Wire”, written by Mark H. Brown. This book is a gem of Montana history and contains 124 photographs from the famous L. A. Huffman, showing original photos, some from horseback. As an early rancher, Huffman had been a part of the life he later recorded with his camera. His studies were not stilted photographs posed for a visiting photographer, but of candid shots of working people who considered him one of themselves. Sometimes Huffman rode with a roundup or followed a herd of sheep for days before he caught the picture he wanted. This was a golden opportunity to record the early life on the Plains, and he exploited it to the fullest. Huffman caught and preserved the spirit of life on the unfenced Montana ranges in the days before barbed wire. This book is in good display condition, with some wear and tear to the book cover, but the integrity of the book is in excellent condition. The measurements of this book are 11 1/4" x 8 3/4".
