ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank Shannon Sullivan for her countless hours scanning images and patience while I was researching and writing this manuscript. Without her collaboration in providing images, searching for just the right picture, and willingness to work across the miles, it would not have been possible to write about a subject so dear to my heart. To Clayton Caden, thank you for your time spent gathering research in anticipation of my visits and pointing me in the right direction. To the entire staff of the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum, thank you for your graciousness and hospitality. My time spent in your research center was invaluable in pulling this project together. Without your permission to access and use images from your archives, this book would not have been possible.

Thank you to Arcadia Publishing for providing me with the opportunity to write this book. To my editor, Jared Nelson, thank you for your help and guidance along the way. Your input was truly appreciated.

To my family, thank you for your willingness to take several research vacations. I know it was a hardship for you to go fishing, hiking, and rafting in such a beautiful place. Most importantly, thank you for your patience during the countless hours I spent researching and writing.
