Biographical note
Rodello Hunter was born March 23, 1920 in Provo, Utah. One of
the daughters in
a large family, her early life formed the basis of her book:
"House of Many Rooms", where
she describes growing up in an LDS home.
In 1959 she met and married Frank James Calkins, the editor of a
magagine she was at
the time working on. He was an avid outdoorsman, and their
experiences in the Jackson
Hole area of Wyoming gave rise to the book: "Wyoming Wife."
Researchers interested in Calkins should should also see Coll Mss 29: Frank James Calkins
