1903 Theodore Roosevelt, in an address to the Arctic Brotherhood in
Seattle, stated: "I think we have cause to feel abundantly justified in
our belief that the qualities of the old-time pioneers who first
penetrated the woody wilderness between the Alleghenies and the
Mississippi, who then steered their way across a vast seas of grass from
the Mississippi to the Rockies, who penetrated the passes of the great
barren mountains until they came to this, the greatest of all the
oceans, still survive in their grandsons and successors."

How To Use This Site
This blog was updated on a daily basis for about two years, with those daily entries ceasing on December 31, 2013. The blog is still active, however, and we hope that people stopping in, who find something lacking, will add to the daily entries.
The blog still receives new posts as well, but now it receives them on items of Wyoming history. That has always been a feature of the blog, but Wyoming's history is rich and there are many items that are not fully covered here, if covered at all. Over time, we hope to remedy that.
You can obtain an entire month's listings by hitting on the appropriate month below, or an individual day by hitting on that calendar date. Use 2013 for the search date, as that's the day regular dates were established and fixed.
Alternatively, the months are listed immediately below, with the individual days appearing backwards (oldest first).
We hope you enjoy this site.
