4.0 out of 5 stars
If you can't find a Wyoming stat here, it isn't important.,
By MARILYN L QUINBY (Eugene, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wyoming: A Source Book (Paperback)
Yes, this is a source book. The bibliography alone is worth the price with 271 entries. Ever wonder what happened to Tom Horn, or where the world's first fossil of Triceratops was discovered? Each page of this wonderful book was a surprise even though I was born in Wyoming and am somewhat familiar with the state. I admit I didn't know the three most deadly highways, the number of reported rapes in 1988, or the trona production from 1950. I have always been proud to have been born in the Equality State but, even so, was surprised by the comparable worth stats. Maps, all types of charts, pictures, and drawings lay out a plethora of facts and interesting, informative bits covering health, politics, topography, economy, conservation, education, and much more. If abandoned settlements is your shtick, see the map on page 314. This is definitely a book for researchers but I really enjoy finding some of the weird stuff hidden amongst the stats such as how much Butch Cassidy netted in the Tipton train robbery and what the Colorado Cannibal preferred for dinner. Only 4 stars? Even researchers like color. Thanks guys-
