Prairie Photographer captured area history in Terry, Montana. A British lady and her naturalist husband and her unwieldy 5x7 Graflex camera moved to Terry, Montana in the 1800’s. “Lady” Evelyn Cameron took startlingly clear pictures of everything: cowboys, sheep herder, weddings, river crossings, frieght wagons, people working, badlands, eagles, coyotes and wolves.

Now, large, crisp copies of the photographs that made her famous are on display in Terry at the new Cameron Gallery. The collection is a stunning portrayal of the everyday lives of easter Montana homesteaders. Free.

Terry is nestled against the Yellowstone River, in the heart of agate country, where people come from all over the U.S. to hunt along the river, the creeks and nearby hills gathering the translucent rock with the rough skin.
