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.

Lex Anteinternet: Wyoming songs: State Anthem.

Lex Anteinternet: Wyoming songs: State Anthem.

Wyoming songs: State Anthem.


This is the one I had to learn in grade school.  It's still the state anthem, but you never hear it anymore.  When my kids went through grade school they weren't taught it.

The song was written by Judge Charles E. Winter, whom one of my aunts had worked for when she was a teenager. He'd had quite a career, having been Wyoming's Congressman and later Governor of Puerto Rico.  He returned to practicing law in Casper and was therefore one of those examples of lawyers who seemingly never retire.

He was also multi talented.  In addition to being a songwriter, he was a novelist, with one of his novels having been made into a movie several times.  His son, Warren, was still practicing when I was first a lawyer, and was nearly 100 when he died.  He also never retired.
