Hough, Donald. The Cocktail Hour in Jackson Hole. First Edition. 1956. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good plus condition--jacket shows chipping, a repaired tear, creasing, and fraying. Illustrated by Howard Willard.
The old saying that “it must be five o’clock somewhere” confirms that the cocktail hour is not a fixed moment. For city dwellers, it might be five to seven in the late afternoon. For the year-round residents of the community adjacent to the Grand Tetons, it is September to Thanksgiving, when the vacationers have returned home, and the town is momentarily at peace. Written by a local, the book covers not only saloon life but also other activities of the off-season, when there is fifteen of snow on the ground, and the natives come out to play.
