Book excerpt: People have existed in southwestern Wyoming for thousands of years, yet most lacked the heartiness to settle there. Fur trappers were among the first to explore the area's natural resources, but more importantly, they mapped the frontier, allowing westward expansion along the Oregon, California, Mormon, Cherokee, and Overland trails. Sweetwater County was formed in 1868, with the organization of the Wyoming Territory, and South Pass City became the county seat. A waning gold industry in South Pass caused the county seat to be relocated to Sweetwater County in 1875. Ironically, the Sweetwater River and South Pass City would end up in Fremont County and, in typical boom-and-bust fashion, gold went out and coal was in. Miners were needed, so coal camps were established and workers ultimately settled in Sweetwater County with their families. In the 1930s, Rock Springs became a melting pot, boasting 56 nationalities at the high school. The oil, natural gas, and mining industries continue this boom-and-bust cycle even today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single mother, Ruth Barnes, has devoted most of her adult life to caring for her son who struggles with addiction. She is empty inside from the sorrows she’s faced and the realization that there is nothing left she can do for him now that he is twenty-one. When a charming, good-looking, honest, and most of all clean and sober man, enters her life, will she be able to let go of her parental responsibilities to make room in her heart for a good man? Craig Reid has failed at everything in life including marriage and children due to alcoholism. Now, ten years sober, he awakens to a drama-free, simplistic existence where he avoids anything that could thwart his sobriety, including a romantic relationship. When a beautiful woman-a muse-inspires him to paint for the first time in years, he finds himself questioning all his self-imposed rules. Will their budding affection blossom into true love, or will the truth of addiction fester causing them both to lose hope?

Download or read book The Important Things of Life written by Dee Garceau and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2022-01-07 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sweetwater County lies in southwestern Wyoming, and has stood as a significant symbolic geography for the "new Western Woman’s" history. As the county in which Elinore Pruitt Stewart (Letters of a Woman Homesteader, Nebraska 1990) said she proved up her homestead in 1913, it is a fitting locale for the study of western gender relations. The Important Things of Life examines women’s work and family lives in Sweetwater County in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The 1880’s discovery of coal caused a population boom, attracting immigrants from numerous ethnic groups. At the same time, liberalized homestead law drew sheep and cattle ranchers. Dee Garceau demonstrates how survival on the ranching and mining frontier heightened the value of group cooperation in ways that bred conservative attitudes toward gender. Augmented by reminiscences and oral histories, Garceau traces the adaptations that broadened women’s work roles and increased their domestic authority. Hers is a compelling portrait of the American West as a laboratory of gender role change, in which migration, relocation, and new settlement underscored the development of new social identities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early to mid-1900s, the coal camps of Reliance, Dines, Winton, and Stansbury emerged from the hillsides and desert in southwestern Wyoming due to the increased need for coal. The miners and their families who came to these coal camps were a true melting pot, bringing with them different races, religions, and customs from all over the world. They forged unique communities and worked and lived harmoniously, depending on one another for survival, entertainment, and camaraderie. Although distanced from one another, the camps were integrated by the mines and activities of the Union Pacific Coal Company, and unified by School District No. 7, which provided the educational foundation for their children. The people who lived in these camps contributed significantly to the development of southwestern Wyoming, the economy of the state, and the welfare of the United States during wartime.
