Walt Wheelock (1909-1997) La Siesta Press
The man wrote and published many books but as for his life story not much is provided. My desert library started with books from Walt as they were pretty cheap at the time and I still have them after a few decades.
Would like to have others that have any knowledge of his life to please email us desertmagazine@hotmail.com
