He was a \"small-town architect.\" That's in quotes because, for openers, there's really no such thing as a small-town architect. Nobody in a small town thinks they need an architect, or if they do, they can't afford one. If their builder wants plans at all, he's either got a kid in the back room who did OK in high school drafting class or he'll hire the guy down at the lumber yard with the same credentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, too, the place where he worked, although certainly small by almost any standard, was anything but your garden-variety small-town. His tenure there spanned the exact time during which it underwent a total transformation from the \"Last of the Old West\" to the \"Best of the New.\" It was and still is quite a place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of the rise, and some would say fall, of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44923218526343,"sku":"9781969030062","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a7V2rPEpqI9781969030062.webp?v=1781758406","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-last-of-the-old-west-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
