| Exploring “The Wonders of the West” is SHD’s 2004 Meeting Theme (continued from pg. 1) Visible to the north is the sacred landmark of the Crow people, Heart Mountain, noted by the fur trapper John Colter in 1807 and depicted on Lewis and Clark’s map of 1814. Cody is also the home of our co-sponsoring organization, the renowned Buffalo Bill Historical Center (BBHC), a complex of five museums devoted to exploring the Western experience in art, ethnology, natural history, and firearms. All papers will be presented at the BBHC. In addition to the formal program, two field trips have been arranged to take advantage of the region’s unrivaled natural wonders, both led by Professor John Logan Allen, Chair of Geography at the University of Wyoming. A pre-conference three-day trip (Sept. 7-9) will follow the route taken by John Colter during his exploration of the Yellowstone and Teton region. A post-conference one and one-half day trip (Sept. 11-12) will trace Hayden’s route through Yellowstone National Park. Those wishing to present a paper should respond to the call for papers on our website. For additional information, contact Ralph E. Ehrenberg, 3117 Beechwood Lane, Falls Church, VA 22042 [(703) 538-0948; e-mail: rehrenberg@aol.com). Ralph E.
