  • Chapter 3 – Community Profile
    Chapter 3: COMMUNITY PROFILE The Physical Environment, Socio-Economics and History of Fremont County Natural and technological hazards impact citizens, property, the environment and the economy of Fremont County. These hazards expose Fremont County residents, businesses and industries to financial and emotional costs. The risk associated with hazards increases as more people move into areas. This creates a need to develop strategies to reduce risk and loss of lives and property. Identifying risks posed by these hazards, and developing strategies to reduce the impact of a hazard event can assist in protecting life and property of citizens and communities. Physical / Environment Geology Much of Fremont County is made up of the 8,500 square mile Wind River Basin. This basin is typical of other large sedimentary and structural basins in the Rocky Mountain West. These basins were formed during the Laramide Orogeny from 135 to 38 million years ago. Broad belts of folded and faulted mountain ranges surround the basin. These ranges include the Wind River Range on the west, the Washakie Range and Owl Creeks and southern Big Horn Mountains on the north, the Casper Arch on the east, and the Granite Mountains on the south. The center of the basin is occupied by relatively un-deformed rocks of more recent age. Formations of every geologic age exist in Fremont County. These create an environment of enormous geologic complexity and diversity. The geology of Fremont County gives us our topography, mineral resources, many natural hazards and contributes enormously to our cultural heritage. Topography Fremont County is characterized by dramatic elevation changes.

  • The Sacagawea Mystique: Her Age, Name, Role and Final Destiny Columbia Magazine, Fall 1999: Vol
    History Commentary - The Sacagawea Mystique: Her Age, Name, Role and Final Destiny Columbia Magazine, Fall 1999: Vol. 13, No. 3 By Irving W. Anderson EDITOR'S NOTE The United States Mint has announced the design for a new dollar coin bearing a conceptual likeness of Sacagawea on the front and the American eagle on the back. It will replace and be about the same size as the current Susan B. Anthony dollar but will be colored gold and have an edge distinct from the quarter. Irving W. Anderson has provided this biographical essay on Sacagawea, the Shoshoni Indian woman member of the Lewis and Clark expedition, as background information prefacing the issuance of the new dollar. THE RECORD OF the 1804-06 "Corps of Volunteers on an Expedition of North Western Discovery" (the title Lewis and Clark used) is our nation's "living history" legacy of documented exploration across our fledgling republic's pristine western frontier. It is a story written in inspired spelling and with an urgent sense of purpose by ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary deeds. Unfortunately, much 20th-century secondary literature has created lasting though inaccurate versions of expedition events and the roles of its members. Among the most divergent of these are contributions to the exploring enterprise made by its Shoshoni Indian woman member, Sacagawea, and her destiny afterward. The intent of this text is to correct America's popular but erroneous public image of Sacagawea by relating excerpts of her actual life story as recorded in the writings of her contemporaries, people who actually knew her, two centuries ago.

  • WHAT EVER HAPPENED to SACAGAWEA? the DEBATE BETWEEN GRACE HEBARD (1861-1936) and BLANCHE SCHROER (1907-1998)1 Pennie L. Magee
    27 lississippi River floods," Geotimes WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO SACAGAWEA? THE DEBATE BETWEEN GRACE HEBARD (1861-1936) AND BLANCHE SCHROER (1907-1998)1 by Pennie L. Magee What happened to Sacagawea after the Lewis and Clark expedition? Did she die in 1812 at Fort Manuel in what is now South Dakota, or in 1884 at Fort Washakie, Wyoming? Was she 25 years old, or 97, when she died?2 Grace Hebard and Blanche Schroer dedicated much oftheir lives to researching Sacagawea's life. They were both born in Iowa and both lived for many decades in Wyoming. They were intelligent, independent, driven, articulate scholars. Both women believed in following their inclinations in lifestyle regardless of exterior conventions. Furthermore, each was certain she was right about what happened to Sacagawea, even though they held opposing positions on the subject. Hebard believed that she could prove that Sacagawea died and was buried at Ft. Washakie as an old woman, while Schroer believed that she could prove that Sacagawea died and was buried at Ft. Manuel just a few years after the expedition. Schroer and Hebard were not alone in this debate. Two centuries after the Lewis and Clark expedition, these two opposing positions continue to provide fodder for journal articles, books, and letters to the editor. What makes the debate between Schroer and Hebard interesting is their personal histories. Between the two of them, Hebard and Schroer represent 137 years of United States history. The time and place in which each of these women lived played a key role in her choice of research topic and the interpretation of the data she collected.

  • The Work Arts and Crafts Do
    Journal of Working-Class Studies Volume 3 Issue 2, December 2018 Hosmer The Work Arts and Crafts Do Brian Hosmer, H.G. Barnard Chair of Western American History The University of Tulsa Abstract This essay forms part of a suite of papers focused on work and belonging on the Wind River Reservation. This essay attempts to interrogate multiple meanings attached to work, by Native people and non-Indians, and across multiple work environments. Keywords Wind River Reservation, Native arts and crafts, arts and crafts as work I’d wanted to interview Eva McAdams from the time I initiated my project on work and attitudes toward work on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. McAdams was a member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe who along with Northern Arapahos share this reservation located in west central Wyoming. By the time of my first introduction to Wind River, McAdams was among the community’s most famous residents, known nationally and internationally for her stunningly intricate beadwork, typically featuring her interpretation of the iconic Shoshone Rose motif. Her works regularly commanded prices in the thousands of dollars. Named a National Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1996, an award that recognizes a lifetime of achievement, McAdams also was the first American Indian and second artist all time to receive a Wyoming Governor’s Award. Displayed in fine arts galleries and on the persons of powwow dancers, McAdams’ art bridges the multiple registers of Native Arts and Crafts—fine art, collectable crafts, dance regalia, and commerce.1 I wanted to meet McAdams because I thought she might be able to help me with my ongoing project exploring work, and ideas about working in mid-twentieth century Native communities.
