RICHARD W. ETULAIN is a leading authority on the history and literature of the American West. He is the author or editor of fifty books. The publication of his coauthored (with Michael P. Malone) The American West: A Twentieth-Century History (1989), nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and a History Book Club Main Selection, brought him to the attention of a large general and scholarly audience. His coauthored Stegner: Conversations on History and Literature 1983, 1990, 1996) expanded that readership. The five volumes of the Notable Westerners series that Etulain coedited (with Glenda Riley) added still other readers. His single-authored Beyond the Missouri:	The Story of the American West (2006), which invoked                              change and complexity as cohering themes, became     a useful overview for general readers and a widely adopted college-level text.                                                                   Etulain was born 26 August 1938 in Wapato, Washington, and reared on an isolated sheep ranch.  His father was a Spanish Basque immigrant, his mother a product of the American sod house frontier. After public schools in Washington State, he attended                 Northwest Nazarene College (now University), graduating with high honors and a double major in English and history. Then followed graduate work at the University of Oregon, where he earned a master's in American literature (1962) and a doctorate in American history and literature (1966).

In the early 1960s he began his long teaching career as a high school instructor of social studies and English. After completing his doctorate, he began teaching at the college level, spending nearly forty years as a professor of history, English, and American Studied. Following brief stints at Northwest and Eastern Nazarene colleges, he taught U.S. and western history at Idaho State University (1970-79) and the American West at the University of New Mexico (1979-2001). Etulain's most highly touted scholarly work is Re-imagining the Modern American West: A Century of Fiction, History, and Art (1996). This pioneering overview of recent western cultural history won the Caughey and Western Heritage awards as the best nonfiction book about the American West published in 1996. More recently, Etulain has focused his research on Abraham Lincoln and his links to the American West. Lincoln Looks West: From the Mississippi to the Pacific (2010) collects the best essays on Lincoln-western connections and includes editor Etulain's long introduction and his thorough bibliographical essay.

A second book, Abraham Lincoln and Oregon Country Politics in the Civil War Era (2013), adds new information on the sixteenth president's political bonds to the American West. Etulain has also been a very active editor, helping edit well more than 100 books for several series. Nearly thirty of these edited volumes appear in the Oklahoma Western Biographies series. Other edited volumes are under University of New Mexico imprint, in its Historians of the Frontier and American West series or as separate publications. Etulain is now serving as coeditor of the new Concise Lincoln Library, a series of brief books about Abraham Lincoln. Eight volumes have been published, with several others under contract. Etulain also edited a series of US history books for Harcourt Brace.

Etulain has been the recipient of several honors for his academic achievements and scholarly activities. He was elected president of both the Western Literature (1978-79) and Western History associations (1998-99). In 2001, the University of New Mexico established the annual Richard W. Etulain Lecture in Regional Culture. He was also given an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters by his undergraduate alma mater, Northwest Nazarene University.

Professor Etulain has been energetically involved in public humanities and historical programs for nearly forty years. He has presented hundreds of talks and led numerous conversations as a public humanities scholar, particularly in Idaho, New Mexico, and Oregon. He's also lectured and made presentations overseas since the late 1970s in Mexico, India, Germany, the Philippines, Norway, Poland, Morocco, and Algeria. Most recently, he served as a Fulbright Lecturer in Ukraine and as a presenter at the Basque University in northern Spain.

Etulain currently resides in Clackamas, Oregon, a suburb of Portland, with his wife Joyce, a retired children's librarian. They are parents of a married daughter Jackie Partch, also a children's librarian.
