wyoquilter, as I read further on in my book it does mention the Chisholm Trail
I will post what my book says later/ but it mentions The Goodnight Loving Trail first--so I did not read further/my bad
And I think everyone remembers the Chisholm Trail name-but I did not know it as a cattle drive trail--my attempt at a apology in history

That is okay, I think that the Goodnight-Loving Trail ran along the Chisholm Trail as well as a couple of other trails upon further google investigation. But from what I can tell from the maps I found for the Chisholm the trail ended in Kansas, so I don't think it actually came into WY. Instead other offshoot trails of the Chisholm came into CO, WY and MT. |

What happened for the first time in the 1800"s (not naming the year might stump you ) in Wyoming, that has since added a word or phrase to the dictionary?

This was a tough one! I thought about these:
Women's sufferage (1869)
First National Park? (Yellowstone - 1872)
Range wars? (Buffalo, 1892)
But I was pretty sure I'd strike out with 'em.
...And then I suddenly came across it...
YELLOW PAGES! Cheyenne, 1883. A Cheyenne printer ran out of white newsprint when printing a directory and substituted canary. I would *guess* this "printer" was A. R. Johnson and T. N. Tuthill, who published the Cheyenne Directory in that year.
Did I get it?

In keeping with tough questions, I just learned this while researching the last question:
What was the name of the first hotel in the world to feature electric lamps in each room and in what town was it located? (Hint: The town was also the first in the world to use electric lights before gas.)
