0 - Default Title
Description
Wyoming defines the West. It was the home of the Mountain Men, the Immigrant Trail, Red Cloud's War, and the birthplace of American Women's right to vote. It was where the gregarious Butch Cassidy made his home, the Pony Express mail service ran over the prairie, and the decadent Hell-on-Wheels towns of the Union Pacific Railroad became an American legend. Wyoming has been at the center of the most colorful and influential eras in the history of the western United States, and the best of it is here in Sam Lightner Jr.'s Wyoming: A History of the American West. Written in a timeline that runs tandem with the significant events of the greater world, this human-history of Wyoming is comical, poignant, and always entertaining. The book covers well documented events like the Teapot Dome Scandal, as well as lesser known known parts of our past like the election of first female governor in the United States and the civil war with Utah. Lightner's Wyoming is a page-turner for history buffs and anyone who just wants to know how the Equality State became the foundation of what we call the Wild West.
