1 comments about A Few Interested Residents: Wyoming Historical Marks & Monuments.

1. Wyoming, compared to most other states, is amazingly concerned with its historical past, especially in making it known to the general public. (Just look in Amazon.com at the number of books on Wyoming's historical sites as compared to other states and you'll see what I mean.) This book, probably a unique undertaking, lists not just highway commission historical signs (other states have published books on that), but EVERY sign that points out some piece of information of historical significance in the state, including, for example, all 30+ plaques one sees at Fort Laramie.
   
   The signs/sites are arranged by county; each county has a basic map pinpointing each one by number. The numbering system is the same one used by the Wyoming Recreation Commission in 1967 in their inventory listing. The legend that appears on each sign is given completely, and a very specific location for each sign is likewise provided. Dozens of photographs also appear. Also included is a lengthy opening chapter giving the history of historical marking in Wyoming, a very interesting and informative essay.
   
   This is a terrific book and belongs on everyone's shelf who is interested in Wyoming's past.

1. This and a good map of Yellowstone are all you need for visiting Yellowstone in the winter. The photographs are really gorgeous, too!



2. The book has some pretty pictures and a very basic overview of the park in winter, but is geared very much toward SUV-travelers with plenty of cash and credit cards. Most of the information in this book can be learned from the free pamphlets you get at the park (or they'll send them to you). If you're looking for a more in-depth and personal experience, this book won't help you much.
