Blurb: “A witty, affectionate, and sharply observed portrait of life in a rugged Western resort town, The Cocktail Hour in Jackson Hole captures the off-season rhythms of Wyoming’s most famous valley. With dry humor and a reporter’s eye for character, Donald Hough chronicles cowboys, bartenders, ski bums, socialites, and long-time locals as they navigate cold winters, strong drinks, and even stronger personalities.
Illustrated throughout by Howard Willard, this 1956 first edition blends travel writing, social satire, and Western Americana into a charming time capsule of mid-century Jackson Hole. From backroom poker games to snowbound cabins and lively cocktail hours, Hough’s stories celebrate the oddballs and traditions that make small mountain towns unforgettable.
A great addition for collectors of Western Americana, mid-century humor, illustrated hardcovers, or readers who love smart, character-driven travel writing.”
