Talk: Bob Richard, Photographic Tour of Yellowstone with Aubrey Haines
June 9, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm MDT
A Photographic Tour of Yellowstone with Aubrey Haines
A free talk by Bob Richard
with John Lounsbury
Thursday, June 9, 2022
Noon–1 p.m.
Join us for the June presentation in our “Local Lore with Bob Richard” series of free talks hosted by our McCracken Research Library—please note that this one is on the second, rather than the third, Thursday of the month.
Bob recounts A Photographic Tour of Yellowstone with Aubrey Haines, a trip he took in 2000 with Haines, who was Yellowstone National Park’s first historian. The trip was organized by then District Ranger John Lounsbury for Aubrey, members of the National Park Service, park concessionaires, and more. Bryon Price, the Buffalo Bill Center of the West’s Executive Director at the time, also participated.
Lounsbury, now-retired, joins Bob for the talk. The two will share tales of the trip in this talk illustrated with Bob’s photographs.
With a wealth of knowledge about the Cody and Yellowstone National Park areas, Bob has a lifetime of stories to share with future generations. The “Local Lore with Bob Richard” series continues monthly throughout the year.
The talks in this series are gathered in this YouTube playlist.
