New book: Homesteading and Ranching in the Upper Green River Valley
Available by Christmas 2020
November 20, 2020
Two local historians and authors are announcing the release of "Homesteading and Ranching in the Upper Green River Valley" by Ann Chambers Noble and Jonita Sommers.
This new book is an extensive history of homesteads and ranches on the many drainages near the headwaters of the Green River in western Wyoming. The book is due in Pinedale on December 16, 2020 – just in time for Christmas.
Accompanying the lengthy history are hundreds of historic photos, many published for the first time. Interspersed throughout the book is beautiful photography of the Upper Green River Valley, mostly from local photographers. The book begins in the Kendall Valley on the upper Green River and continues all the way south to the Big Sandy area.
Both Ann Chambers Noble and Jonita Sommers are from long-time cattle ranching families who homesteaded in the Upper Green River Valley of western Wyoming.
The book is published by Laguna Wilderness Press and will retail for $55.00. Unfortunately, holiday book signings and readings are being delayed due to COVID-19 health concerns. Copies of the book will be available in Sublette County at Office Outlet, Obo’s, Cowboy Shop, and Just Imagine; and in Jackson at Jackson Hole Book Trader and Valley Book Store. Copies can also be purchased at LagunaWildernessPress.com.
