Published Jan. 21, 2016

(Whit Press) Every summer Huyler and his wife hosted a potluck supper for their neighbors in Jackson Hole on the Sunday closest to the full moon in August. This collection of 151 stories tells the tales that were shared by their guests about locals who had died. It sheds light on the colorful people and customs of Jackson Hole, Wyo. Huyler moved to a ranch in what is now Grand Teton National Park, in 1926, at age six. He lived in California for some time, but moved back to Jackson Hole where he has run a ranch, the Rocking H, for the past 20 years.
