Kat, you will get through this with flying colors!

Folks,

I recently sent an e-mail to Kat. It's in praise of her new book. I paraphrase it below:

I just spent a long while savoring and slowly reading the Journals Of Lewis And Clark. What an amazing adventure. Your Wyoming book got packed away before I could read it. (We are still living out of boxes.) BUT I just found it. On some levels it reminds me of Anne Morrow Lindberg's books, and Rosalie Sorrel's mother's writing from her GRIMES CREEK in Idaho. (Both I highly recommend to you.)

Ms Kat---just know I love your book. The land lives in your hands--and you make it's colors as vivid as any reality-based lazer photo. You and Lewis and Clark are describing the same special land mass---the American West.They found it when it was more pristine---and you, by choosing to look at the beauty spots and away from the crap, like a good photographer might've chosen to teach themselves to do, have beamed your light on the beauty that still remains.

Thanks so much for showing me your Wyoming.


Love,

Art
