Betsy Gaines Quammen is a historian and conservationist. She received a doctorate in Environmental History from Montana State University, her dissertation focusing on Mormon settlement and public land conflicts. She has studied various religious traditions over the years, with particular attention to how cultures view landscape and wildlife. The rural American west, pastoral communities of northern Mongolia, and the grasslands of East Africa have been her main areas of interest. After college in Colorado, caretaking for a bed and breakfast in Mosier, Oregon, and serving breakfasts at a café in Kanab, Utah, Betsy has settled in Bozeman, Montana, where she lives with her husband, writer David Quammen, three huge dogs, an overweight cat, and a pretty big python named Boots.
She is the author of True West: Myth and Mending on the Far Side of America, American Zion: Cliven Bundy, God and Public Lands in the West, and The Earth Will Appear as the Garden of Eden: Essays on Mormon Environmental History.
