Kerry maintains his love and interest of history, genealogy, and conservation. He has been a member of The Defenders of the Outdoor Heritage, and is past chairman of the Utah State Governor’s Commission on Historic Sites and Preservation. Kerry joined actor and conservationist, Robert Redford, along The Outlaw Trail, in 1975 and was ghost-writer of Redford’s book The Outlaw Trail: A Journey Through Time  (1978) delineating the associated history, with Bob editing and adding his personal commentary. Kerry has worked with representatives of actor Kevin Costner and Tig Productions with regards to a screenplay.

 

It is the goal of these authors to present history as it is recounted by contemporary peers; as it is recorded and discovered by various researchers in the same fields of interest. It is also our goal to entertain readers with historical counts of real peoples; to have them question all things and to explore the rich history that surrounds them every day of their lives. If traveling on the trails of the past readers are enlightened, educated, and entertained—then our journey as writers will have been successful!
