Most of the fifty-five men who pinned on stars were simply good citizens who carried out the routine duties of office-maintaining order, collecting taxes and liquor license fees, inspecting chimneys, and running the county jail. Some rose to the occasion when faced with adversity. Others arranged to be out of town.
The fifty-five territorial sheriffs of Wyoming helped shape the history of the territory and the state it became. |

| Owen Wister’s (1860-1938) novel, The Virginian, helped establish the cowboy as an American Folk hero. The Virginian, the story of a cowboy ranch foreman, was originally published in 1902 and made a legendary hero out of the cowboy. |

| In this lavishly illustrated companion volume to Pronghorn: Ecology and Management, Richard E. McCabe, Bart W. O’Gara and Henry M Reeves explore the fascinating relationship between pronghorn and people in early American, from prehistoric evidence through the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. The only one of fourteen pronghorn-like genera to survive the great extinction brought on by human migration into North America, the pronghorn has a long and unique history of interaction with humans on the continent, a history that until now has largely remained unwritten. |

Seven species of trout swim in the mountain streams, alpine lakes, rivers, and reservoirs of Wyoming. Other species found in the state include kokanee salmon, walleye, and pan-sized bass. From the sagebrush flats to the alpine basins, there are abundant waters to fish. You can reach some of them in your care. For the others, a requisite hike holds promise of solitude and hungry prey.
Kenneth Graham knows these waters well and has collected details to help anglers plan a great trip. In Fishing Wyoming, he provides advice on where and when to fish, how to get there, and what kind of gear proves most effective for reeling in the catch. Graham describes more than 200 Wyoming fishing holes, including the best in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
The book includes maps to help locate the sites, black-and-white photos, and descriptions of the 21 fish species you’ll find in Wyoming.
If you’re angling in Wyoming, this book will help you find the best waters and find the fish. |
