Historical NoteReturn to Top

Cat Urbigkit was a writer, photographer, and rancher from Big Piney, Wyoming. She graduated from Pinedale High School in 1983, and later married Jim Urbigkit. They raised sheep and Hereford cattle in Sublette County. Urbigkit spent more than a decade conducting research on the history of Wyoming's wolves for her non-fiction book, "Yellowstone Wolves: A Chronicle of the Animal, the People, the Politics," released in 2007. She and her husband were party to several Federal lawsuits dealing with Wyoming wolves, including the lawsuit challenging the wolf reintroduction program in Yellowstone National Park.
