Wyoming Settlement Shifts From Range to Small-Farm Growth
The article notes a broad influx of settlers into Wyoming from Colorado to Montana, driven by Mondell 320-acre law and land-company sales. It details a shift from open range and water control battles to farming and stockraising on 160 to 320 acres, stricter residence rules, and frequent contests to secure land titles as open range declines.
