Bio
I returned home to Montana in 2003 after a career as a newspaper reporter and journalism professor. These days I stay busy doing research on Montana history. My current focus is on early trips to Yellowstone National Park.
I worked for Montana newspapers while in college at the University of Montana. After graduating, I was a reporter and editor for newspapers in Utah and Kentucky. After earning a doctorate, I was a professor at the Universities of Wisconsin and Tennessee teaching mass media effects, public opinion, and communication research methods. My research has appeared in several scholarly journals including Journalism and Mass Communications Quarterly, Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media, and Public Opinion Quarterly.
I have been researching Yellowstone National Park since in 2003 have a collection of more than 200 first-person accounts of park travel before 1915. Globe Pequot published my book, Adventures in Yellowstone: Early Travelers Tell Their Tales, in August, 2009.
My articles on Yellowstone Park and Montana history have appeared in the Big Sky Journal and the Pioneer Museum Quarterly. I am working on a novel for young adults about a 14-year-old boy’s adventures in Yellowstone Park in 1871.
I live with Bozeman where I am a volunteer at the Pioneer Museum. I am a reader for the Montana Book Award.
