About the author
Kittridge A. Wing is credited as the author of Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico, a volume in the National Park Service Historical Handbook Series. The book was published by the National Park Service in 1955, and it remains the work most clearly associated with his name.
Archival National Park Service records also identify Kittridge A. Wing as superintendent of Gettysburg National Military Park during the 1960s. Taken together with his Bandelier handbook, those records suggest he was not only a writer but also a park administrator whose work centered on explaining historic places to the public.
Basic biographical records indicate he was born in 1913 and died in 1999. Readily available sources on his life are limited, so many personal details are hard to confirm with confidence; what stands out most clearly is his connection to the National Park Service and his contribution to writing about Bandelier.
