Atteberry, Julia Burt, 1915-1986
Julia Burt Atteberry (1915-1986) was the daughter of Maxwell Struthers Burt (1882-1954, Princeton Class of 1904) and Katharine Newlin Burt (1882-1977), and the sister of Nathaniel Burt (1913-2003, Class of 1936), who were both writers and ranchers. The Burt family hailed from the Northeast but moved out West during the early 1900s. They settled in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where they set up Bar BC Ranch, one of the first "dude" ranches. Maxwell and Katharine were also talented authors, and their novels often incorporated vivid descriptions of the East and West and how these worlds collided. Maxwell died in 1954 and Katharine died in 1977.
