Eugene V. Moran Wyoming Literary Map papers, 1976-1990

Eugene V. Moran was professor of English education at the University of Wyoming. He received an M.A. from George Washington University and an Ed.D. from the University of Maryland. He created a Wyoming Literary Map, showing sites where well-known authors worked or about which they wrote within the state. The project was done for the Wyoming Association of Teachers of English with funding from the Burlington Northern Foundation. It built on two previous similar maps: one created by Grace Raymond Hebard in 1927 and the other done in the early 1960s by an Upton High School literature class. The map was published in 1984.
