  • Donald Hough (June 29, 1895 – c. 1965) was an American humorist and writer of several books and film scripts. He was born in St. Paul Minnesota June 29, 1895, and died around 1965. He was the son of Mr. & Mrs. Sherwood Hough. His wife's name was Berry; they had one son named Sherwood. According to the dust jacket notes on a first-edition copy of Snow Above Town (W.W. Norton, 1943), Hough's career included: * Working as a reporter for various St. Paul newspapers "for about five years" * Writing for several outdoor magazines * At various times between 1924 and 1936, serving as publicity director for the Izaak Walton League * Proprietorship of an advertising agency in Chicago, Illinois * "Devising the application" of the first soundproofing for airplanes and assisting in its application to the first China Clipper * Invention of a type of outdoor clothing considered for purchase by the Russian army * Service as a forest ranger * During World War II, serving as a captain in the U.S. Army Air Force Those dust jacket notes quote Hough as saying he began writing for Colliers and The Saturday Evening Post in the 1930s "to get my crack at the movies." It was in the course of moving his family to Hollywood, via Mexico City, that Hough passed through Jackson Hole, Wyoming, found himself without sufficient funds to carry through on his planned move, and settled briefly. While in Jackson Hole he pursued his writing for Colliers, inventing the characters of Hade and Steve, based on individuals he had met in the area. Hal Roach made some of those stories into the films listed below. Among the people he encountered, at least by reputation, in Jackson Hole was publishing heiress and philanthropist Cissy Patterson. Various anecdotes about her are recounted in the Cocktail Hour in Jackson Hole. (en)
