Book Description
This 250 page book is a detailed, completely factual local history of the Big Laramie River Valley in southeastern Wyoming. It is the first comprehensive history of the area covered, and includes the story of the "Cummins City Caper," wherein a gold mining scam occurred in 1880-81 by one John Cummins. It covers the history of the entire 4 mile long valley, including old Cummins City, Old Jelm, New Jelm, Woods Landing, and El Rancho Pequeno (where the author was raised) from prior to the Civil War until about 1930, with numerous pictures, maps and period articles and stories. It was a 27 year long "labor of love," and is a reference work as well as the story of a beautiful valley and a historical era. The index is extensive, as is the bibliography. John W. Cummins, the protagonist, victimized a number of people, and his detailed, insofar as seems possible, including extensive quotes from depositions taken in 1881, sealed with wax, and uncovered and opened for the first time by the author in 1988, confirming and filling out details of the author's story.

Book Description
This 250 page, 8" x 11" book is a local history of the Big Laramie River Valley, Jelm and Woods Landing, all lying at the foot of Jelm Mountain in southeastern Wyoming. In 1880, a "white-whiskered con man" named John Cummins pulled a scam resulting in the rise and fall of Cummins City, now known a ghost town known as Old Jelm. But there is more to the story than just the "Cummins City Caper," as the author calls the scam. A thriving community, centered at Woods Landing, now extends up and down the four-mile long valley. A sourcebook as well as a history, the book covers the period from the Civil War until 1930. It contains numerous pictures (most black and white, but some color), maps, stories, records and detailed source material. The index is extensive. This edition is color. A black and white edition is also available.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Wyoming, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Earliest Known Discoveries Wyoming as early as 1809. The Chouteau brothers of St. Louis sent their men into this part of the west at an early date, that is previous to 1815. Just what time they reached the upper waters of the Platte, it is impossible to say with any degree of certainty. Desiring to confine this work to matters of known record, I have carefully avoided entering the realm of tradition.
