Roadside History of Wyoming gives readers a sampling of the history, people, places, and events that shaped my home state of Wyoming. As I said in the introduction to the book, "High atop America is a place so rugged and wild it grabs your heart and spirit and soul: Wyoming, land of the cowboy. The state is a sensation of endless space and unchanged time. Standing atop a granite boulder in the Rocky Mountains, you may feel that you're looking into forever or seeing a country untrammeled and untamed. Wyoming has lots of elbow room and not much to obstruct the view. Its immensity is matched only by its diversity: Rock-strewn mountains, rolling plains, windswept deserts and pastoral valleys. In every region of the state you can climb to the top of a high peak, spin your gaze like a top, and see nothing but land, rocks and sagebrushjust as it might have looked when the first people came to this country. In Wyoming your spirit can soar with the eagles and race with the wild horses of the Pryor Mountains or the Red Desert."
