Welcome to H-West, a member of H-Net Humanities & Social Sciences OnLine. The primary purpose of H-West's network is to encourage lively and professional discussion and collaboration about the history of the North American West and the frontier as both place and process.
Very tragic news. I knew Robert for years from the time he spoke at a tiny American Indian museum I 2as managing in the Chicago area, through my time in the National Park Service, and beyond via occasional communication. He was a great man, kind and sharing and a magnificent historian with a heart as big as the west he loved so much.
