Alfred Bertram Guthrie was born in Bedford, Indiana, in 1901 and named after his father, an educator and newspaper man. Most of A.B.'s childhood was spent in Choteau, MONTANA. Guthrie graduated from Montana State University in Bozeman in 1923 and took a job with a newspaper in Lexington, Kentucky. At age 38, Guthrie began to write fiction. He attended HARVARD on a Nieman Fellowship. "The Way West" was published originally in 1949. This story of an emigrant trek from INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI, to OREGON in the 1840s was an immediate success.
