Book Description
Excerpt from General Laws, Memorials and Resolutions of the Territory of Wyoming: Passed at the First Session of the Legislative Assembly, Convened at Cheyenne, October 12th, 1869, and Adjourned Sine Die, December 11th, 1869 In the vicinity of the Big Horn mountains and along the Black hills, gold is known to exist in large quantities. Heretofore its development has been retarded by Indian occupancy, but now movements are progressing that will result in opening up this richest gold region yet discovered. The valleys Of Big Horn, Powder and Wind rivers, with their tributaries in western and northern Wyoming, are exceedingly rich in agricultural resources. Every species of territorial game finds a home and a luxurious existence upon these comparatively unknown though grandly fertile vales. The earth yields her increase most abundantly, and fruits and vegetables attain to a wonderful degree of perfection, unaided by the hand of man.

Pages : 227
Book Description
For centuries Wyoming was a land no one wanted--high, dry, and remote--more often a thoroughfare on the way to some place else than a final destination. The problem, explains T.A. Larson in this history, was people--and how to get them there.

Wyoming: A Bicentennial History
Author: Taft Alfred Larson
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393243850
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
For centuries Wyoming was a land no one wanted--high, dry, and remote--more often a thoroughfare on the way to some place else than a final destination. Many of the sweeping developments that overtook the rest of the nation simply passed it by, leaving Wyoming to sit in lonely grandeur behind its granite walls and silent snows. The problem, explains T.A. Larson in this history, was people--and how to get them there. The settlers who came to Wyoming stayed to build a special way of life. It is with them that important choices now rest. "The country where the wind blew in primeval purity will now breathe new odors," says author Larson, unless short-term profits can be balanced by long-term gains. If the right decisions are made, he concludes, it should be possible for Wyoming to "emerge from its primitive isolation in such a way that its greatest values are preserved and its old way of life left for those who choose to follow it."

William Jefferson Hardin and the Ghost of Slavery
Author: Lawrence Woods
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1728344980
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Early in his life, Hardin knew he was born a free person of color, and by the time he was twenty, he knew he had a more comprehensive education than most of the white men of his age. In the West, he actually looked French or Spanish, but he still was proud that he was of one-eighth African descent. In 1850 Hardin was twenty, when the Fugitive Slave Law created a terrible threat to a free person of color, as slave-catchers then roamed the northern states, seeking people they could seize, process through the poor enforcement of the law, and resell southward. He soon moved to Canada, as a safer place to live, but “didn’t like” that country, and returned to Wisconsin (a part of the old Northwest Territory, where slavery was illegal). Then in 1857, the Supreme Court said that people of African descent were “inferior,” whether slave or free. In Colorado in 1863, Hardin was a barber, that favorite occupation of African American men, who associated with the upper classes of white men, and if personable—as Hardin was—made valuable friends. Soon he was speaking to “overflow” crowds, even though he was telling the story of a Haitian slave’s successful revolt against the French. He even got a job with the Denver mint. But although he had never been a slave, the ghost of slavery still lurked behind him, and an editor, writing about the mint job, said that Hardin had an ”ugly black mug.”
