Lonn Wood Taylor, born January 22, 1940, and died June 26, 2019, was a fifth-generation Texan, historian, storyteller, NPR and TV personality, and Rambling Boy columnist who lived the last 17 years of his life in Fort Davis. Five of his ten books were published during that time. He first visited the area in his teens with his father, a highway engineer, and it impressed him so deeply that he chose to retire there after a career that culminated at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.
