This week, Roundup host Wendy Corr has a conversation with Yellowstone historian Bob Richard. Bob’s grandfather was a guide and scout for Buffalo Bill, and Bob continues his father and grandfather’s legacy, sharing the rich history of the region in his books, photos, and live presentations.
Biography: Robert NeVille Richard boasts an unusual array of life experiences. He has been a rancher and businessman, decorated combat aviator, non-profit executive, father of four and, as evidenced in his fifth book, a Yellowstone Horse Ranger.
His rich and satisfying background combined with the influence of parents Jack and Rhea, both newspaper publishers, editors, writers, photographers and historians, make it only logical that he would want to share his experiences with others.
