Tempe Javitz always thought the photographs on her family home's walls were famous. They had been taken by her grandmother, Jessamine Spear Johnson, in the 1910s through 1940s.
Others didn't know her grandmother or her work. Now, Javtiz's new book is trying to change that.
"Bighorn Visions: The Photography of Jessamine Spear Johnson" is being published through the South Dakota Historical Society Press. Ahead of its publication, Javitz joins In the Moment to discuss her grandmother's unique lens through which she viewed the West.
