The T. A. Larson papers consist of material he
collected or generated during his time as a professor of Wyoming history at the
University of Wyoming from 1936 to 1975. Other material comes from his years of
service as a Wyoming State Representative from 1976 until 1984 and with his
service to the Wyoming State Historical Society. Much of the collection relates

Wyoming.
Biography of T.A. Larson
T. A. (Taft Alfred) Larson was a highly respected and popular professor
of history at the University of Wyoming from 1936 to 1975. The son of Swedish
immigrants, Larson was born on a farm in Wakefield, Nebraska on January 18,
1910. He entered the University of Colorado in 1928 where he earned both his BA
and MA degrees in English History. He attended the University of Illinois where
he was awarded a Ph.D. in 1937. He was hired by the University of Wyoming as a
temporary lecturer for one year. Larson then attended the University of London.
He was asked to return to the University of Wyoming to teach, and, among other
classes, he was assigned the duty of teaching Wyoming history. This was the
beginning of his scholarly fascination with Wyoming history. In 1943, Larson
entered the Navy, and during his service he wrote a history of the Great Lakes
Naval Training Center. He was discharged in 1946. Upon his return to Wyoming,
Larson began writing "Wyoming’s War Years: 1941-1946," which was published in
1956. In 1965 he published, "The History of Wyoming." This 700-page book became
a “model” for state histories throughout the country, and it became the
standard text for teaching Wyoming history. Larson also wrote "Wyoming: A State
History" (1977), "Wyoming: A Bicentennial History" (1978), and "Bill Nye’s
Western Humor" (1968). Nye was a journalist who lived in Laramie during the
1880s. T. A. Larson was head of the History Department from 1948-1968, and he
directed the School of American Studies from 1959-1968. Larson retired in 1975
and was elected to the Wyoming State House in 1976. He was appointed to the
Joint Appropriations Committee during his first term and remained on that
influential committee throughout his tenure in the House. He served four terms,
retiring in 1984. He received many honors including the G. D. Humphrey
Distinguished Faculty Award, the W. R. Coe Professor of American Studies Award,
the UW Medallion Service Award, and an honorary Doctor of Law degree. He was a
co-founder and president of the Wyoming State Historical Society, and he was
president of the Western History Association. He died in California on January
26, 2001.
Scope and Content
The T. A. Larson papers contain biographical material, correspondence,
manuscripts, subject files, notes, recordings, and maps. Most of this material
comes from his years as a professor of Wyoming history at the University of
Wyoming from 1946 to 1975. Other materials come from his years of service as a
Wyoming State Representative from 1976 until 1984. The biographical section of
the collection includes resumes, family items, material related to his military
service with the Navy during WWII and written and photographic material about
professional colleagues. The rest of the collection contains personal and
professional correspondence, book manuscripts, professional articles and
reviews, and speeches. A collection of subject files includes general western,
Wyoming, and University of Wyoming subjects. Women suffrage materials are
included throughout. A collection of notecards contains many detailed notes
related to Wyoming history. A record box of audio visual materials contains

Wyoming maps are kept in a folder along with a rare Laramie City insurance map
from the 1870s.
