CASPER
COUNTRY
"Presidents Truman, Roosevelt, and
Reagan, John C. Fremont, Ella
"Cattle Kate" Watson-Averell, and newsman Alfred Mokler are just
a few
of the people you'll meet in Jean Henry-Mead's Casper Country:
Wyoming's
Heartland. Heavily illustrated with vintage and 20th century
photographs,
Mead's sharp-eyed stroll through Casper's first century pays a
call on the
booms and busts, floods and blizzards, grasshoppers and sheep,
cowboys
and oil men that influenced the city's history. . ."

really need to do."

earn a living without working." ~ British novelist J. T. Edson
