Historical NoteReturn to Top
Dee Linford (1915-1971) was a journalist, free lance writer, and magazine editor. He was born in Afton, Wyoming, and graduated from the University of Wyoming. He did newspaper work in Laramie and Rock Springs, Wyoming, before joining the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, where he was editor of "Wyoming Wildlife" for 15 years. He moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he was a technical editor in the office of the New Mexico State Engineer. Linford was the author of a novel, "Man Without a Star," which was the basis for two movies, "Man Without a Star" starring Kirk Douglas, and "A Man Called Gammon." Along with Agnes Wright Spring, he was one of the principal authors of the WPA guide, "Wyoming: a Guide to its History, Highways, and People." Linford also authored over 200 western stories which appeared in various popular western magazines.
