West's forgotten photographer preserves the old plains life
Harvey Preston Dwight son of State Senator Reuben Dwight of Perma serves in the western front artillery. He shipped to France in August and rode the Saratoga transport when it was rammed in New York Harbor before departure. His letters home recount army life and hope for rapid recognition. A Miles City photographer L A Huffman preserved eastern Montana cow country scenes and worked with Charles Badger Clark Jr to publish a Western Vista book, Sun and Saddle Leather.
