The Casper Star Tribune is collection pre 1940s photographs for a book on Casper's history up through 1939 that it's putting out. I'll be looking forward to the book.
It's interesting that they chose to run it up through 1939. I'm not sure what the basis of their decision is, but that means they're cutting it off the year before the country mobilized for World War Two. Perhaps that's the basis of it.
It's also interesting that this will be the third such book in recent years. The first was A View From Center Street, which cataloged the works of a well known local photographer through his career and the second was a photo book that's part of a nationwide series. Now the Tribune is taking on the same topic. Apparently there must be a lot of interest in this topic, which is a good thing. The Tribune, with statewide readership, stands a pretty good chance of having their book be the widest circulated although I suspect a lot of us locals will have all three.

While the Indian Wars smouldering in Wyoming, and state volunteer units were patrolling the Oregon Trail:
Some Gave All: Gettysburg National Military Park, Gettysburg Penn...: The photographs below are of the Gettysburg National Military Park. I only recently saw the park, and as I was traveling for business, I...Interesting to place in prospective in regards to scale. The Civil War years were bloody ones on the Frontier, but the blood spilled in the war in the East was truly massive. While battles occurred in the West, and in Wyoming, throughout the Civil War, they were often on the level of skirmishes compared to the ones being fought in the East. This is not to reduce the scale of the conflict in the West, or the nature of it, but rather, it places it in context. Indeed, those state and paroled troops serving in the West were there as the regular Federal troops were serving in the East, alongside of thousands upon thousands of other state troops.
