William Kittredge
grew up trying to be a buckaroo on the MC Ranch in southeastern Oregon, gave it up and farmed until he was 35, gave that up and studied in the Writer’s Workshop at the University of Iowa, and was lucky enough to get a job at the University of Montana, where he taught for 29 years, retiring as Regents Professor of English and Creative Writing in the spring of 1997.
