Hartt Partridge Wixom (1933 – 2017) was an American writer who specialized in the topics of hunting, fishing, wildlife and environmental protection, and Latter-Day Saints (LDS) history.
His most recent works focus on early LDS history: Jacob Hamblin[1] (2008), Profiles in Mormon Courage[2] (2007), and Critiquing the Critics of Joseph Smith[3] (2005).
[15] He was also a frequent contributor to the monthly periodicals Outdoor Life and Sports Afield[26] and served as chairman of the Fish Committee, Utah Wildlife Federation.
[25] During the 1960s and 70s, Wixom's interests in hunting and fishing brought him into contact with wildlife conservationists and environmentalists working to preserve or restore clean air and water in the American West.
[25] As he became increasingly outspoken in favor of federal regulations for clean air and water, The Deseret News named him their environmental editor,[27] the first of its kind in the Mountain States.
