Today in St. Patrick's Day. The feat day falls on the anniversary of his death in Saul, Ireland, in the year 461 or 493.
St. Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland Wyoming has a relatively large Irish community with the Irish being significant in the ranching industry in particular well in to the mid 20th Century. Almost every region of the state had Irish ranchers with many Irish ranches being established in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century. Irishmen were prominent in both the cattle and sheep industries.
In some communities the day was recognized by celebratory parties in the Irish community and in organizations associated with them. In Casper, for example, the Knights of Columbus hosted a St. Patrick's Day party for many years. This is less the case today, but the Irish in Wyoming still are part of the state's cultural heritage.
Irish American Wyomingites have figured prominently in other fields as well, and have notably contributed to politics and law in the state. Wyoming has contributed one Irish American, Mike Sullivan, to the Ambassadorship to Ireland. The former Governor Sullivan was Ambassador to Ireland during the Clinton Administration.
1863 Thomas Francis Meagher, eclectic Irish revolutionary and general of New York volunteers during the Civil War, who would later go on to become Territorial Governor of Montana (and ultimately who would be lost in the Missouri River when he fell over, while ill, on a mission to receive firearms for the Montana Militia), hosted a St. Patrick's Day celebration for his command.

1876 Gen. Crook raids Cheyenne and Oglala Sioux camps in the Battle of Powder River, in Montana. The conditions of this campaign were grueling and the weather dropped to -40F during the campaign. Crook had taken to the field from Ft. Fetterman on March 1 and marched north. Blizzard conditions slowed their march. On March 16 Crook divided his command sending part of it away under the command of Col. John J. Reynolds, following an Indian trail, and with one days rations. Shortly before dawn on March 17 his scouts located a large Indian village on the west bank of Powder River. The Cheyenne camp of 600 was 600 to 1,000 feet below the soldiers, who were on a high plateau. Reynolds led his men and horses down the bluffs to form an attack, but only with great difficulty due to the terrain.. He ordered Company K to make a charge with drawn pistols through the village but he failed to support this attack with the rest of his command, and the warriors quickly escaped to the bluffs to the north, where they raked the unit with fire, allowing the women in children in camp to make their escape, and soon join a Sioux village that was nearby. They left, however, lots of firearms, ammunition, and food.
By 9:00 a.m., Reynolds had full possession of the abandoned village and he ordered it destroyed. He then withdrew 20 miles southward to the mouth of Lodge Pole Creek, where he was to rejoin General Crook. The village and supplies proved difficult to burn and the resulting exploding ammunition proved to be a hazard to the troops. By 2:30 p.m. the command began to withdraw to Lodge Pole Creek, arriving at 9:00 p.m., in a greatly exhausted condition. The withdrawal was conducted in a somewhat hasty fashion and Reynolds left three dead troopers who were subsequently mutilated by the returning Indians. Crook was not at the established rendezvous point as he had camped ten miles to the northeast and had failed to inform Reynolds of his new location.
Reynolds had captured a large number of Cheyenne ponies but they soon recaptured them during a snowstorm early on the morning of March 18, as the exhausted guards were too fatigued to be attentive. Later that day Reynolds command rejoined Crook's. The column returned to Fort Fetterman on March 26.
Colonel Reynolds was accused of dereliction of duty for failing to properly support the first charge with his whole command; for burning the captured supplies, food, blankets, buffalo robes, and ammunition instead of keeping them; and for losing the 800 captured ponies. He was court-martialled at Ft. D. A. Russell that following January and found guilty, receiving the sentence of suspension from rank and command for one year. President Grant, remitted the sentence, but Reynolds never served again. He retired on disability leave on June 25, 1877, exactly one year after the Battle of Little Bighorn. He is, however, remembered in the form of a street name in Laramie. I once rented a house on that street.

1915 Gale McGee born in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was Wyoming's Senator from 1959 to 1977. He was later Ambassador to the Organization of American States. McGee was a popular U.S. Senator and it is often noted that he was a surprisingly liberal politician from a state that had become quite conservative. It was noted by some that his votes grew more conservative towards election time.
He was defeated in his final run by Malcolm Wallop, which has often been a subject of debate in Wyoming. At the time, the national press oddly associated it with his support for the Vietnam War, which was almost undoubtedly unrelated to his defeat. Wallop, for his part, ran a brilliant campaign featuring a television add with a cowboy burdened with a porta potty on his horse, symbolizing being weighted down by Federal regulations, indicating a theme that would be prevalent in Wyoming campaigns ever since that date. Most savvy local commentators, however, have noted that McGee simply did not campaign, and the suspicion is that he did not really wish to retain the office any longer.
McGee was a history professor in terms of his occupation.

The Punitive Expedtion: Forces reach Colonia Dublán
1917 The Cheyenne State Leader for March 17, 1917. Shades of the Spanish American War
During the Spanish American War Wyoming was strongly associated with
volunteer cavalry. The 2nd U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, Torrey's Rough
Riders, to be specific.
The story of the 2nd is disappointing. A really early effort along the same lines as the famous 1st US Volunteer Cavalry, the much more famous Rough Riders associated with Theodore Roosevelt, Torrey's unit never saw combat. Which isn't to say that it didn't see casualties. The unit was involved in a terrible railroad accident on the way to to Florida resulting in loss of life to men of the unit. Partially because of that, it never deployed.
Indeed no Wyoming volunteers or militiamen saw action in Cuba, but Wyoming's National Guard units, recruited during the war in part, much like the National Guard units raised during the Punitive Expedition, saw action in the Philippines. Those units, like the ones raised and deployed in the Punitive Expedition, were infantry, however. They did serve very well.
Well, cavalry is more glamorous, without a doubt, and even though the Wyoming National Guard had just come home, the looming entry of the United States into World War One, which was appearing to be increasingly certain, was causing thoughts to return of the glamorous idea of raising a volunteer cavalry unit. Major Andersen, the Adjutant General of the Wyoming National Guard, was backing just such and idea and touring the state to try to get it rolling.
Cavalry saw a lot more action in World War One than people imagine. And Wyoming was a natural for cavalry really. Given the small population of the state Andersen surely knew that any infantry units provided to a mobilized Army for deployment to France would simply be swallowed up into other units. Cavalry had a better chance of remaining distinct and intact, so the idea had some merit, in spite of the excessively romantic way that it must appear, reading it now.
Which isn't to say, frankly, that all the boys "from the border" who had just returned would have been horsemen. Far from it. The idea that every Wyomingite knew how to ride at the time is just flat out false. Young men with little horse experience must have been cringing a bit at the thought of being converted to cavalry.
1918 St. Patrick's Day, 1918.
A poem about March, as a seventeen year old Irish lass, greeted Cheyenne's newspaper readers on this day in 1918.

St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Casper Wyoming was completed in 1962. The church came about due to the expansion of Casper in the 1950s, and this church is the newest of the three Roman Catholic churches in Casper. Unlike Our Lady of Fatiima, which represented an expansion to the west side of Casper, this church is located in east Casper.
Plans for the church commenced in 1955. Like Our Lady of Fatima, a school was constructed on the site but was never used as a regular grade school. The church is also the largest of the three Catholic churches in Casper, having a very large interior.
