The University of Wyoming Press, an imprint of the University Press of Colorado consortium, has published its first book, “The Art and Life of Merritt Dana Houghton in the Northern Rockies. 1878-1919” by Michael A. Amundson. Houghton’s work depicts the infrastructure of the new settler society that was remaking the West in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, and Amundson demonstrates how Houghton’s vision of the American West remains active today.
The book is available for purchase online. Purchasers can receive 40% off with promotional code AMUN23 (expires 3/31). The book will be available at several retail and museum outlets throughout Wyoming.
