Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wyoming’s colorful story of water management illuminates the powerful forces that impact water use in the rural American West. The state’s rich history of managing this valuable natural resource provides insights and lessons for the twenty-first-century American West as it faces drought and climate change. Public Waters shows how, as popular hopes and dreams meet tough terrain, a central idea that has historically structured water management can guide water policy for Western states today. Drawing on forty years as a journalist with training in water law and economics, Anne MacKinnon paints a lively picture of the arcane twists in the notable record of water law in Wyoming. She maintains that other Western states should examine how local people control water and that states must draw on historical understandings of water as a public resource to find effective approaches to essential water issues in the West.

Download or read book Asmus Boysen and His Dam Problems written by Lawrence Woods and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Danish immigrant Asmus Boysen arrived in New York in 1886, hoping to make his fortune in the free environment of the United States. In a remarkably short time, he did just that, but a search for coal and metals in Wyoming proved fruitless. He committed his fortune to a dam and power plant to recover his lost investment, but a power struggle over the land with lawyer John T. Clarke exhausted both their fortunes. The dam Boysen built is gone, but ironically the government made a much larger dam just upriver from Boysen's location, naming it Boysen's Dam, proving that it made sense to erect a dam and power plant there, if the builder was rich enough and powerful enough.

Download or read book William F Cody s Wyoming Empire written by Robert E. Bonner and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated showman of the Old West, William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody took on another role unknown to most Americans, that of the western land developer and town promoter. In this captivating study, Robert E. Bonner demonstrates that the skills Cody acquired from decades in show business failed to prepare him for the demanding arena of business and finance. Bonner examines Cody’s efforts as president of the Shoshone Irrigation Company to develop the Big Horn Basin through large-scale irrigation and town development. This meticulously researched account shows us a Buffalo Bill preoccupied with making a buck and not at all shy about using his fame to do it. Cody spent huge sums, bullied partners, patronized state officials, and exercised his charm in pursuit of developing the high plains east of Yellowstone National Park. His efforts helped shape the city of Cody and the Big Horn Basin. With the famous Irma Hotel as a cornerstone, he built the first infrastructure of the Cody-Yellowstone tourist trade and connected his little Wyoming town with the wealth of the East through personal hospitality and travel. Laced with engaging anecdotes and featuring more than twenty photographs, William F. Cody’s Wyoming Empire is a much needed look at an overly mythologized character. There was more to William F. Cody than the Wild West show—and we cannot construct a full picture of the man without understanding his entrepreneurial activities in Wyoming.
