This narrative is based on detailed historical notes obtained by the author’s father, Fritiof Fryxell, more than 30 years ago, in conversation with early settlers of Jackson Hole—including Pierce Cunningham himself—who were in a position to furnish reliable information concerning The Affair at Cunningham’s Ranch.
