The romance of Wyoming is included in the names of its rivers and mountains and in the titles of its cities and counties. The author gathered information from books, newspapers, private letters, pamphlets, and interviews. Filled with local history and lore, Wyoming Place Names provides a fascinating look at not just the background of each name, but the state's history.

Wyoming Place Names,
By Dyan M. McBride (Cheyenne, WY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wyoming Place Names (Paperback)
This book is a fascinating study of the origins of the place names in Wyoming. You can study the origins and history behind just about every place in Wyoming. I am a WY native, and I didn't know the origins of some of the place names in this book!
