Meet the bookfest authors: Mark Junge

Uncategorized | August 18, 2008

Cheyenne writer Mark Junge currently is riding his bike through California, and reporting his adventure in the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle. He will return in time for the Equality State Book Festival in Casper Aug. 18-20. Here’s more info:

Mark Junge worked for nearly a quarter of a century in the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office before retiring as deputy state historic preservation officer and state historian in 1995. He edited the state’s quarterly history magazine, Wyoming Annals, for three years.

He is the author of five books that combine history and photography, including A View From Center Street: Tom Carrigen’s Casper (2003), The Wind is My Witness: A Wyoming Album, (1997), Wyoming: A Pictorial History (1989), J.E. Stimson: Photographer of the West (1985), and Wyoming: A Guide to Historic Sites (1976).

Junge also worked that same quarter-century as a freelance photographer for the Wyoming State Tribune-Eagle, the University of Wyoming Sports Information Office and the Cheyenne Civic Center. In 2006 he rode a bicycle across North America.

At the bookfest, Junge will speak on a panel about the history of Casper at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18, at the Fort Caspar Museum and will be available to sign books following the panel.
