Thing of the past ...
Polly Pry papers : photographs, 1870-1921
Date: ca.1870-1921
Mrs. Leonel Ross (Campbell Anthony) O'Bryan, aka "Polly Pry", was a tabloid journalist for The Denver Post. Her most sensational story resulted in the pardon of the "cannibal" Alferd Packer. Her descriptive and dramatic writing about mine unions and miners caused her life to be threatened. She left The Denver Post and started her own magazine, "Polly Pry." After folding that publication, she worked for the Denver Times through 1914. The newspaper sent her to Mexico twice, once to interview the warring factions led by General Victoriano Huerta and Panch Villa. The second time she witnessed the success of the revolutionary forces led by Villa and Venustiano Carranza. At age 60, Pry helped organize the American Franco Children's League to benefit French orphans. She also worked in public relations for the Red Cross in Greece and Albania during World War I.
