Historical Note
Albert George Lucier (1876-1962) was a New York photographer who moved to Powell, Wyoming in 1908 to document the Shoshone Project. The Shoshone Project was an irrigation project initially promoted by William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody at the end of the 19th century. In 1904, the project was taken up by the Bureau of Reclamation in the United States Department of Interior. Work on the Shoshone Dam on the Shoshone River began in 1905 and completed in 1910. It was renamed Buffalo Bill Dam in 1946.
