Men to Match Our Mountains
by Jay Lawson, Wyoming Game & Fish Department
SYNOPSIS: Wyoming's Chief Game Warden, Jay Lawson, has chronicled the life histories of some of the most colorful outdoors men and women of early 20th century Wyoming in his book, Men to Match Our Mountains. Lawson's presentation features many interesting characters from the Big Horn Basin, including some of the area's most notable hunters and outfitters. A book-signing follows the talk, with all proceeds being donated to the Wildlife Heritage Foundation of Wyoming to further the Forensic Fund.
This fund supports the forensic investigation of wildlife crimes by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's laboratory at the University of Wyoming.
Jay Lawson has worked for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department for more than thirty years. Beginning his career as a game warden, Lawson was then promoted to the position of Regional Wildlife Supervisor, and later became Chief Game Warden and Chief of the Wildlife Division, a position he has held for nineteen years. Although wildlife management has been his lifelong career, Lawson's strong avocation is researching the history of wildlife conservation in the West.
Free to the Public. Neither Food nor Drink is allowed in the Coe Auditorium. Thank you. |
