In recognition of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, this beautiful book features 76 objects and places, each of which points to an important event or an ongoing activity, a movement or an economic development that was significant in Wyoming's history. Short essays are accompanied by photographs ranging from personal items and clothing, to vehicles, buildings, and natural sites that played an important role in the shaping of the territory that is now known as Wyoming. This book is part of the Wyoming 250 celebrations that commemorate Wyoming's history, places and people.
