In recent years there has been great interest in the life of Arthur Hawthorne Carhart. He was involved with the events that led up to the creation of the Wilderness Act and preserving Wilderness areas around Trappers Lake in Colorado. With my cousin Bill Carhart and family, I attended the celebration of Art Carhart and the Wilderness Act there at Trappers lake last year.
Tom Wolf wrote a biography of Art called "Arthur Carhart: Wilderness Prophet" in 2008. It was a great pleasure reading the book and learning more than I ever know about Art from my family.
I most recently received an email from Bruce Gill who is writing about Arthur's employment as Federal Aid Coordinator with the Colorado Game and Fish Department. It has been great corresponding with him. Based on his questions about the pictures of Art, I have updated the pictures with the date and photographer information where known. To see that information, let your cursor hover over the picture.
