Historical NoteReturn to Top

John W. (Jack) Ravage was a professor of journalism and telecommunications at the University of Wyoming. While at the University he researched numerous subject areas, such as film director Henry King, the Teapot Dome Scandal of the 1920's, the Snowy Range Highway 30 Project, and African American cowboys and settlers of the American West and Canada. The latter research led Ravage to publish several novels based on his research, including "Singletree" and "Slick and the Duchess: the Teapot Dome Scandal and the Death of Warren Harding".
