The magnificent valley of Jackson Hole at the base of the soaring Teton Range has long been a stage on which a remarkable series of events has been acted out by an equally remarkable cast of characters. This is that story, told with a verve and excitement which brings the past alive. In these pages, the reader will witness the dramatic creation of the Tetons; the arrival of the first humans, bands of fur-clad Early Hunters who ventured into the valley some 10,000 years ago; the coming and going of the later Indian tribes; and the nearly incredible journey of John Colter, who back in 1807 is said to have been the first white man to have found his way through the wilderness and into Jackson Hole.

For my wife, Emmie.
Except for her, I would never have gone to
Jackson Hole to visit.
Except for her, I would never have had so
many kids to take to Jackson Hole.
Except for her, I would never have put down some roots
in Jackson Hole and become fascinated
with its past.
