With them the squawman, the covered wagon and the American Indian, who has whooped himself into a tame and stupid retreat. Old Fort Bridger is crumbling into ruins. Even the creek beds, along which the ponies of the cowboys used to splash in low water, have shifted with the years. The first phase of the great borderland show is at an end. A.nd its record in that part of Wyoming might well be ended, too, were it not for such a historian as the author of this little volume, "Uinta County, Its Place in History." Elizabeth Arnold Stone came to Uinta County in the early seventies-a tiny girl. In this state, which she has loved to call her own, she has grown to womanhood, experiencing in her every­ day life some of the romance, the hardship, the true friendship, which pioneering in an unmade country called for. She has known in life many of the characters of whom she has written in her history. She has felt the lure of the open sage prairie, the blue skies and the whistling gale, which have enticed these char­ acters from more comfortable homes elsewhere to this high spot in the Rockies. Her college training and years of reading have given her a sense of discrimination and balance, which, added to distinct literary ability, have furnished fine tools with which to work. And now for three years the author has labored conscien­ tiously to make this work an authentic and attractive record. This ds no compilation from the findings of others. Mrs. Stone has delved into virgin soil. She is a true pioneer. To be sure, she has read the few scribbled records, which the cowboys of that day have left--{:owboys well schooled and cowboys unlettered, who rode the range side by side. She has told of the fossil beds newly discovered, in the eyes of the arche­ ologist one of the choice finds of the country. These make tangiole food for a history. But there is something more in this history-a thrill which fires the blood at thought of the crumbling walls of old Fort Bridger, long ago the goal of weary overlanders looking for sup­ plies and shelter from the In<tian tomahawk. She has followed IO UINTA COUNTY the sheep and cattle trails through the sage and into the timber and found the deserted trappers' cabins beside old dry creek ~ and has understood. She has listened to the fireside stories which gray-haired men and women have loved to tell about days when things were "a-doing", and in retelling them she has pre­ served the echoes of romance. This little volume affords one stirring link in the great pano­ rama of the shifting borderland. Its merits are manifold, its charm as persuasive and delightful as the author herself, whom I have loved and prized all my life as "a dear neighbor o' mine.'' MARGUERITE CM1ERON. AUTHOR'S PREFACE At a first glance it might seem that the history of a tier of western counties in the mountain state of Wyoming could hold but little of interest for the general reader, and I must confess that when I began the collection of material for this book I bad but an imperfect idea of the importance of the original Uinta County. Its claims to attention as they have spread out before my view are so many and so varied that my own limitations have been keenly felt. EspeciaJ1y was this true of the badlands of the Bridger Basin, a section that has contn'buted more than any other to the science of paleontology. In this my brother, C. P. Arnold, who had made a study of the subject, came to my aid. Even before the days of the fur traders this vast domain was the scene of many important events. Then came Jim Bridger, who built his historic trading post within its confines. Two great trails crossed it, leaving many landmarks of that early day, among which are Fort Bonneville and the Prairie of the Mass. Coming down to later history, there is much that is neces­ sarily of a purely local nature, and yet to the lover of humanity the story of the development of a new commonwealth cannot but have a vital interest. I am indebted to many sources for the material gathered, and wish to express my sincere thanks for the helpful interest of my friends, and especially to the newspapers that have placed their files at my service, besides aiding me in every possible way. The writing of this book has been a labor of love, and if it adds, as I hope it may, something to the authentic history of Wyoming, I shall feel richly repaid for the task. No doubt, I have omitted many lurid events that would furnish material for sensational films and stories, but so overshadowed are they by the brave struggle toward a higher and more lasting civiliration that they have seemed to me scarcely worth the mention. We are building a peaceful and prosperous state In what once was the wild, woolly west, For the bad disappears, and the swift-changing years Mean survival of all that is best. EI.lzABtTH ARNOLD STONE. CHAPTER ONE The First Settlers Who were the first settlers in U-mta County? Where did they come from and when did they get here, the real old timers? It is not easy to answer these questions. Many a late arrival indulges the pardonable illusion that he is one of the original pioneers be­ cause this region was never inhabited in any practical> efficient way until he rose above our horizon. But the early history of Umta. County goes much farther back than that. Fortunately that early history bas been written in the rocks, principally in those of the Bridger formation. Beside this story bas a human interest. In 1846 and 184-7 some employees of the American Fur Com­ pany brought specimens and curiosities to St. Louis.1 These rocks they had picked up in their wide wanderings, things that had appealed to their curiosity and imagination. American science had not been born. Everybody whose opinion was worth consideration believed that the world had been created in six days, "from sun up to sun up," and just six thousand years ago. All this had been figured out in the family record of folks who had lived be£ ore the· flood, and had lived

I first would like to acknowledge the gracious assistance of Bob Malcolm Super- visory Cartographer of Region 2 in Golden, Colorado who opened up the Region’s archive of maps and atlases to me in November of 2005. Also, I am indebted to long-time map librarians Christopher Thiry, Janet Collins, Donna Koepp, and Stanley Stevens for their early encouragement and consistent support of this project. In the fall of 2013, I was awarded a fellowship by The Pinchot Institute for Conservation and the Grey Towers National Historic Site. The Scholar in Resi- dence program of the Grey Towers Heritage Association allowed me time to write and edit my research on the mapping of the National Forest System in an office in Gifford Pinchot’s ancestral home.

  • French in the History of Wyoming from La Salle to Arland
    French in the History of Wyoming From La Salle to Arland Daniel A. Nichter https://wyo.press To Professor Emeritus Walter G. Langlois ii Preamble Let's address the elephant in the room: this is a book about history. And if that isn't boring enough, it's about Wyoming history, a state few people seem to know anything significant about. And to make it really boring, it's about French influences in the history of Wyoming. Wake up! This book is exciting and entertaining! Don't think of it as a history bookI don't. This is a book of stories, real and extraordinary people and their lives. Reality TV? Survivor series? Top chef? Amateurs, all of them! The people we're about meet will amaze and inspire you because, although their world was different, everything about them as humans is timeless. It doesn't matter that you and I have smart phones with GPS but they didn't even have hand-drawn maps of Wyoming. It doesn't matter that you and I have antibiotics but they just let a fever run its course, sometimes for a month or more. The facts of our worlds are radically different, but our hearts are the same: inspiration, determination, grit and perseverance; the joy of discovery, the loneliness of exploration; love, happiness, celebration; jealousy, anger, hatred; doubt, worry, and courage. This book is the product of years of research, undergirded by historical fact and the rigor of academic truth, but au cœur it is a book of stories as relevant today as one hundred years ago or one hundred years to come, for we are all explorers struggling to discover and settle new lands.

Presents Encore of “The Hobart Shakespeareans” Aug. 15 on PBS Documentary Profiles Rafe Esquith’s Inspirational Elementary-School Teaching Methods A co-production of Mel Stuart Productions, Inc., American Documentary | P.O.V. and Thirteen/WNET New York “A fine and passionate documentary. Rafe Esquith is a genius and saint. The American education system would do well to imitate him.” - Anita Gates, The New York Times “For Esquith, it's not about making an easy path for his students but about opening doors for them to work hard and create better lives for themselves.” - Merrill Balassone, Los Angeles Times Imagine the sight and sound of American children, ages 9 through 11, performing Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” or “Henry V”—and understanding every word they recite. Imagine them performing well enough to elicit praise from such accomplished Shakespearean actors as Ian McKellen and Michael York, and to be invited to perform with the Royal Shakespeare Company in England. Such a spectacle would be highly impressive in the toniest of America’s private schools. But what if the kids were recent Mexican and Korean immigrants attending a large Los Angeles inner-city public school in one of America’s toughest neighborhoods? That is the astonishing story told by the new documentary The Hobart Shakespeareans, which discovers how one man’s uncommon commitment and resourcefulness have opened up worlds of opportunity for his “disadvantaged” students—and perhaps have demonstrated a way forward for America’s beleaguered public education system.

Dog Tooth Peak is the middle and highest of three mountains that sit on the Continental Divide northeast of Big Sandy Lake in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. These mountains are located in Bridger Wilderness, within the 3.4 million-acre Bridger-Teton National Forest. To the northwest is Mitchell Peak and to the southeast is Big Sandy Mountain. From Big Sandy Lake, Dog Tooth Peak appears as a nondescript hump of talus, and in fact most of the mountain is a steep pile of boulders. The east side of the mountain, however, drops off precipitously to Papoose Lake and North Popo Agie River Basin. On the summit plateau are two boulder-strewn hills; the northernmost hill is the highest point and true summit. The views from here include Mitchell Peak and Cirque of the Towers to the north/northwest, and the impressive Point 11,320 and Big Sandy Mountain to the south. Even if you are alone on this mountain, chances are good that you will encounter some wildlife, such as mule deer, grizzlies, black bears, moose, elk, bighorn sheep and of course squirrels, pikas and chipmunks.
