  • Spring 1999 Meeting Sundance, Wyoming April 23, 1999
    Wyoming Association of Professional Archaeologists Minutes of the Spring 1999 Meeting Sundance, Wyoming April 23, 1999 Executive Committee Meeting The agenda for the Wyoming Association of Professional Archaeologists Business Meeting, scheduled for the afternoon of Friday, April 23, 1999 was discussed. Issues to be presented include the Secretary's Report, the Treasurer's Report, agency reports, old business including the outcome of the reorganization of the Wyoming Department of Commerce, nomination of officers, a discussion of the declining WAPA membership, any new business, and the location of the Fall 1999 WAPA business meeting which has already been scheduled for Friday, September 17, 1999 in Rock Springs in association with the events and activities for Wyoming Archaeology Awareness Month. Business Meeting PRESIDING: Paul Sanders, President CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 1:30 P.M. SECRETARY'S REPORT: Minutes of the Fall 1998 WAPA meeting were distributed. No suggestions for changes were made. The group discussed the need to announce meetings earlier than has occurred recently. We have traditionally relied on the WAPA Newsletter to announce the time and location of the next meeting about a month in advance, but given the lateness of recent issues, this has not happened. Because of the early date of the next meeting, a meeting announcement will be prepared soon and e-mailed to everyone who has an e-mail address on file and send it via regular mail to those who don't. It was also noted that arrangements are being made for a special room rate for WAPA members at the Outlaw Inn in Rock Springs for the September meeting.

Like so many well-entrenched, traditional as- sumptions, this one is unwarranted. J. Evetts Haley, in editing one of the extremely rare accounts of the cattle drives to Califor- nia which preceded the Texas-to-Kansas experiment by a decade and a half, slapped the blame for this misunderstanding squarely on the writings of Emerson Hough.

  • Gunplay Maxwell
    Gunplay Maxwell James Otis Bliss, AKA “Clarence L. Maxwell”, “Gunplay Maxwell” (1860 to August 23, 1909) was a late 19th-century Old West gunfighter and businessman from Boston, Massachusetts. Born the son of a hotel manager (Alfonso Bliss), he received a good education, but in 1875 he was involved in a bar room brawl that resulted in him shooting and killing a friend of his. Maxwell fled to Texas, and later Montana, to avoid being arrested for the murder. While in Montana and working as a cowboy, he began selling his gunman skills during the cattle-sheep wars. He later became involved in a cattle rustling in Wyoming and Utah, resulting in his being arrested and sentenced to 3 years in the Wyoming State Prison in 1893. While in prison, he became associated with Butch Cassidy, and the two were released within a week of one another. It was later said that he attempted to join Cassidy’s gang “The Wild Bunch”, but was rejected. In 1898 he and another man robbed the Springville, Utah bank, taking $3,000. More than 200 posse members pursued them, killing Maxwell’s partner, and capturing Maxwell after a brief shootout. He was taken to the Provo, Utah jail, but never revealed the identity of his partner, but that he was dead. Maxwell was convicted of robbery and was sent to the Utah State Prison. Five years later, after he helped stop a prison escape, his sentence was commuted. He worked as a mine guard and discovered the ozokerite near Colton, Utah and filed a claim, then started the mining company “Utah Ozokerite Company”.
