FOREWORD | |
The history of Wyoming, in all its details and phases, presents a story of gripping human interest. Sixty years ago great herds of antelope and buffalo roamed over the plains, elk and deer by thousands found shelter in the foothills and mountain ranges, while predatory animals, such as timber wolves, bears and mountain lions, held undisputed possession of the forests. The soil was then untouched by the plow of the husbandman, the groves and forests had not yet echoed the sound of the woodman's ax, the rich treasures of coal and ore had not felt the stroke of the miner's pick, and the only civilized persons who had penetrated the vast, primeval solitudes were the trappers, hunters, Indian traders and missionaries, or the emigrants on their way to the gold fields of California or the Mormon settlement at the Great Salt Lake. Then came the cry of "Westward Ho!" and the spirit of Wyoming's dream was changed. Brawny, red-blooded men came flocking in from the older states and began a work of development unparalleled in the nation's history. Great irrigating systems were constructed, arid lands were reclaimed, and the desert was made to "blossom as the rose." Thousands of cattle and sheep grazed where once the antelope and bison held their undisputed sway. The immense deposits of coal, iron and the precious metals were made to give up their wealth for the benefit of mankind. The drill penetrated the subterranean lakes of oil to add to the comforts of the human race the resources that had lain concealed through all the centuries of the past. The council wigwam of the Indian has given way to halls of legislation, the war-whoop of the savage has been supplanted by the hum of peaceful industry, and all this development has been made within the memory of people yet living. To tell the story of this wonderful progress, as well as to give accounts of the pre-historic inhabitants, the trappers, traders and early explorers; to keep green the memories of the past: to recount the deeds and achievements of the Wyoming pioneers, that subsequent generations may emulate their worthy examples and profit by their mistakes, is the purpose of this history. How well that purpose has been attained is for the reader to determine. The work has been one involving great care and labor, but the publishers confidently assert that no effort has been spared to make this History of Wyoming both authentic and comprehensive. Authentic, because, as far as possible, the official records have been drawn upon as sources of information: and comprehensive, because, it is believed, no important event connected with Wyoming's growth and development has been overlooked or neglected. Much credit is due to the old settlers of the state, whose letters, scrap-books and personal recollections have contributed in no small degree to the compilation of the history. Letters were written to county ofificials and others, asking for incidents connected with local history, and, while a few failed to respond, much information was obtained through this channel. The editor and publishers take this opportunity to acknowledge their obligations to these old settlers and county officials for their willing cooperation; to the various state officers and their assistants for their aid in consulting the public records; to Bishop Nathaniel S. Thomas, who permitted the use of his large and well assorted private library; and to the state librarian. Miss Agnes R. Wright, and her assistants for their unifonn courtesies while the work was in course of preparation. Our thanks are also due to Governor Frank L. Houx for his contribution to this history on "Wyoming, the New Oil State"; to Albert B. Bartlett, for his valuable paper on the "Geology of Wyoming"; to Hon. W. E. Chaplin, for data relating to the early history of the Press of the state; to Bishop Patrick A. McGovern, for material relating to the early history of the Catholic church, and to Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard of the University of Wyoming, for access to her extensive personal collections relating to Wyoming history. The hearty cooperation of these and other good people over the state has made our task a pleasant one and has greatly enhanced the interest and value of the work. THE S. J. CLARKE PUBLISHING COMPANY. | |
