Download or read book Almost Pioneers written by John Fry and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1913, Laura and Earle Smith, a young Iowa couple, made the gutsy—some might say foolhardy—decision to homestead in Wyoming. There, they built their first house, a claim shanty half dug out of the ground, hauled every drop of their water from a spring over a half-mile away, and fought off rattlesnakes and boredom on a daily basis. Soon, other families moved to nearby homesteads, and the Smiths built a house closer to those neighbors. The growing community built its first public schoolhouse and celebrated the Fourth of July together—although the festivities were cut short because of snow. By 1917, however, the Smiths had moved back to Iowa, leasing their land to a local rancher and using the proceeds to fund Earle’s study of law. The Smiths lived in Iowa for most of the rest of their lives, and sometime after the mid-1930s, Laura wrote this clear, vivid, witty, and self-deprecating memoir of their time in Wyoming, a book that captures the pioneer spirit of the era and of the building of community against daunting odds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lynching of Cattle Kate (Ellen Watson) and Jim Averell by six prominent cattlemen filled the pages of Wyoming newspapers in 1889. The popular myth of the West was that Watson was a prostitute who galloped across the prairies and bartered sex for calves. For years residents of the Sweetwater Valley knew that these stories were not true. They knew that Ellen Watson's biggest crime was legally claiming a homestead on a piece of ground being used as a hay meadow by cattleman Albert Bothwell. Now, for the first time, an author has searched through the layers of fabrication and uncovered the true story.

Book excerpt: In the southwest corner of Wyoming, the town of Kemmerer embodies a rich history of coal mining and those who came from many different countries to dig the black gold from the earth, then stayed to build a town. The mines, the miners and the unions led Kemmerer to prosperity and the establishment of the railroad, health care and other services in what was once a frontier town. In addition to her mining heritage, Kemmerer stakes her claim as the home of J.C. Penney's first Golden Rule store, the harbinger of a retailing empire that would spread throughout the country and remains a major player in the world of American business to this day. As she did in her previous books about the region, Echoes of Elkol, The Story of a Western Coal Camp and Glencoe, Spelling Out Western Coal Camp History, Dorothy Wright and her collaborators have captured a little known piece of Wyoming's past and preserved it through more than 100 photos along with oral histories, newspaper accounts and carefully documented information that follows the town of Kemmerer and her people from her birth through her history of Mining, Moonshining and Madams to her present day place as a vital part of Wyoming and the West
