The "Writin' Wrangler"


Many cowboys are famous for talking; long stories of the lonesome trail, lost love, and cantakerous doggies. But our head wrangler, cowgirl Kit McLean, is famous for her writing. She, along with co-author Karen West, has recently published Bound for the Methow: A Pictorial History of the Methow Valley. It is a beautiful, coffee-table quality hardcover book that chronicles the lives of the early homesteaders in the Valley. In 288 pages and with over 300 historic photographs, the book is a monument to the hard work and hard times of the early settlers. It is available for purchase in the Sun Mountain Lodge Gift Shop. Published by the non-profit Shafer Historical Museum in Winthrop, proceeds go to benefit the museum. To learn more about this legendary horsewoman, click here:
