Maxwell Struthers Burt

Maxwell Struthers Burt (October 18, 1882 - August 29, 1954), was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer.

Life
Struthers Burt was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He graduated from Princeton University in 1904.

In 1908 he moved to Wyoming, settling in Jackson Hole. He founded the JY Ranch with Louis Joy. This ranch ultimately became the famous Rockefeller Ranch of the same name (the JY). In 1912, following a dispute with Louis Joy, he established the Bar BC Bar B C Ranch, a dude ranch. He met and married his wife, Katherine Newlin Burt an author of Western novels, in the same year. Burt's son, Nathaniel Burt, was also a published writer.

Struthers was one of the people who led ultimately to the establishment of Grand Teton National Park when, in 1923, he met with other like-minded individuals at Maud Noble's cabin and began the process of gathering support to have the area come under protection by the Federal Government.

Burt died in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. His papers are housed at Princeton University.
