This book was released on 2021 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating at their encampment near Crow Creek on July 4, 1867, railroad surveyors named the settlement after the local Cheyenne tribe. By the time the Union Pacific Railroad arrived in November, the town had grown from a tent city to a "Hell on Wheels" town of ten thousand souls. Cattle barons brought herds to graze the open range, while they reposed in mansions on Millionaires Row. By 1890, the gleaming dome of the new capitol building was visible all the way down Capitol Avenue to the majestic Union Pacific Railroad Depot. Authors Starley Talbott and Michael Kassel explore a rich past, including the origins of the F.E. Warren Air Force Base, the foundation of the world's largest outdoor rodeo and the unheralded history of early aviation that eclipsed Denver.

Book excerpt: Learn how the West was haunted, as historian, author, and ghost story collector Jill Pope takes you on a spectral tour of Wyoming’s capital city. In 1867, at the spot where the Union Pacific Railroad crossed Crow Creek, the city of Cheyenne was born. Since then, the Magic City of the Plains has had a long history of hauntings. Drop into the Shadows Pub and Grill, and you may find yourself sharing a drink with a spectral patron from another era. Spend a night at the Historic Plains Hotel, and you may run into one of the many ghostly guests who refuse to check out. Even the Wrangler store seems to be home to a phantom cowboy. From the ghosts of the historic depot and rail yard to the spirits that still linger in some of the city’s private homes, this frontier town is filled with spooky happenings and chilling sightings. Join writer and guide Jill Pope on a tour of the stories behind this city’s most chilling spots. Includes photos! “If there is anyone in town who knows about Cheyenne’s ghosts, it’s local historian and author Jill Pope. She can rattle off scores of stories tied to most of the buildings downtown, ranging from a murder in the Cheyenne Depot to a freak accident outside the Hynds Building.” —Wyoming Tribune Eagle

Book Synopsis The Northern Cheyenne Exodus in History and Memory by : Ramon Powers
Download or read book The Northern Cheyenne Exodus in History and Memory written by Ramon Powers and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exodus of the Northern Cheyennes in 1878 and 1879, an attempt to flee from Indian Territory to their Montana homeland, is an important event in American Indian history. It is equally important in the history of towns like Oberlin, Kansas, where Cheyenne warriors killed more than forty settlers. The Cheyennes, in turn, suffered losses through violent encounters with the U.S. Army. More than a century later, the story remains familiar because it has been told by historians and novelists, and on film. In The Northern Cheyenne Exodus in History and Memory, James N. Leiker and Ramon Powers explore how the event has been remembered, told, and retold. They examine the recollections of Indians and settlers and their descendants, and they consider local history, mass-media treatments, and literature to draw thought-provoking conclusions about how this story has changed over time. The Cheyennes’ journey has always been recounted in melodramatic stereotypes, and for the last fifty years most versions have featured “noble savages” trying to reclaim their birthright. Here, Leiker and Powers deconstruct those stereotypes and transcend them, pointing out that history is never so simple. “The Cheyennes’ flight,” they write, “had left white and Indian bones alike scattered along its route from Oklahoma to Montana.” In this view, the descendants of the Cheyennes and the settlers they encountered are all westerners who need history as a “way of explaining the bones and arrowheads” that littered the plains. Leiker and Powers depict a rural West whose diverse peoples—Euro-American and Native American alike—seek to preserve their heritage through memory and history. Anyone who lives in the contemporary Great Plains or who wants to understand the West as a whole will find this book compelling.

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.

Download or read book Gracious Ghosts of Cheyenne written by Jill Pope and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haunted Cheyenne author Jill Pope shares the lighter side of the paranormal spectrum with stories of departed loved ones, spirit guides and angels. Homeowners of a quaint West First Avenue home continually find bright-red lipstick prints throughout the house. The owner of a flagstone house on East Twenty-Third Street awoke to the apparition of a weathered, elderly man leaving a loving kiss on her forehead while whispering "Good morning, granddaughter." A caller to a Cheyenne radio station recounted the tragic story of the death of her two sisters before she was born and their childhood tea party visitations. From the lingering smell of roses to phantasms in family photos, these local stories remind us that the deceased can give reassuring touches and guidance through struggles and share in our important moments and milestones.
