In memory of Katie Lee, 98, who passed away Nov. 1, we’re asking our readers to share their memories of the Western icon. A staunch wilderness advocate, writer, folksinger, and adventurer, Lee wrote hundreds of songs and numerous books during her long career. She also appeared in “DamNation,” a documentary about freeing our nation’s blocked rivers, and in “Wrenched,” a documentary about monkey-wrenching activists in the Southwest. As HCN contributor Craig Childs put it: “(Katie Lee) is our foul-mouthed, lightning-eyed, boot-stomping balladeer, a character Louis L’Amour never could have invented.”
