“In his keynote address for our Research, Creativity, and Community Conference, John Clayton shared stories about his research into frontier novelist Caroline Lockhart and, in the process, roused his audience’s dreams of exploring research frontiers. His love of western history infuses his work.”
David Craig, Director, Montana State University Billings Honors Program
“Caroline Lockhart is a well-known figure at the American Heritage Center (AHC), University of Wyoming. Her papers, which are held at the AHC, are popular with students and the public alike. But I had never known Lockhart to ‘come alive’ as she did during John Clayton's presentation about her passions and her foibles.”
Leslie C. Waggener, American Heritage Center, University of Wyoming
“An excellent speaker—professional, responsible, and personable.”
Lee Cooper, President, Red Lodge Friends of the Library
