Description
A visual autobiography and portfolio of one of the West's famous trial attorneys.
The Lost Frontier features a generous and dazzling collection of the author's own paintings and photographs, vividly embellishing his story of growing up in the Depression and his evolution as an attorney and advocate for the disenfranchised. Most importantly, it uniquely documents his life in and relationship with his beloved state of Wyoming. With an unabashedly iconoclastic view of how things are and how they should be, these images and words could only have been created by Gerry Spence.
