Biographical History
This typescript, approximately 250 leaves, was compiled in 1988 by Richard Winger of San Francisco, Calif., from official election returns and the Communist Party press.
Richard Winger was a prominent citizen of Jackson, Wyoming during the twentieth century and played an active role in the establishment of Jackson Hole National Monument (later part of Grand Teton National Park). Winger served as Secretary of the Community Club of Jackson during the 1910s. During the 1920s and 1930s, he served as a land agent for the Snake River Land Company, where he helped acquire land that eventually became part of Jackson Hole National Monument. While working for the Snake River Land Company, he was involved in the company's water rights dispute with Utah-Idaho Sugar Company over Two Ocean and Emma Matilda Lakes in Teton County, Wyoming. Winger later worked for Jackson Hole Wildlife Preserve, Incorporated (1940s) and served as Secretary and Manager of the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce (1950s). During the 1960s, Winger was Manager of the Jackson Hole Airport Authority.
