Hello All.
I'm moving to Cheyenne from NYC in August for a job. Does anybody have recommendations for books about Wyoming, its culture and history? I'm primarily looking for nonfiction, but if there's a Great Wyoming Novel, I'd like to read that too. So far, I have:
Wyoming Folklore: Reminiscences, Folktales, Beliefs, Customs, and Folk Speech (Federal Writer's Project),
The Heart of Everything That Is: The Untold Story of Red Cloud, An American Legend (Bob Drury),
Wyoming Range War: The Infamous Invasion of Johnson County (John Davis),
The War on Powder River (Helena Huntington Smith).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
CW

WyoHistory.org has a wealth of interesting stories. It's a "project of the Wyoming State Historical Society." I've spent hours reading the essays but have barely touched the surface.

Where the Rivers run North by Sam Morton. History of horses in the Powder River basin.

Sam spends his summers in Sheridan.

Just today met his sister-in-law, Sally. Lovely lady.
